Reviews - Akryloth

Defenitely a whole lot better than the first episode of The Fugitive. The biggest improvements are the level design and variety of scares.

The level design was decent, could be better if the areas wouldn't be so enormous, it's harder to make nice looking big areas. also some areas were very square and emtpy still. Also some looked suspiciously much like maps from amnesia and justine... Good example is the archives map, it even has the same name and it's design is almost copied from the main game.

Added custom monsters, which is always a plus, though someone had pointed out, the dogs have an iq of a brick... But no matter.

Scariest part was the mines, defenitely, very good choice of music and gave me a good thrill...

Storyline is nice, not too complicated and fits well within the Amnesia lore.

The scares also, big improvement. Sounds, things moving, rumbles. Except the one's in the... dream? I suppose, at the end. Come on, the whole CS without these cheap scares and now that... Random grunts and brutes appearing out of thin air with loud sound.

But overall, a nice CS.

Can't make this episode anymore than a 5 I'm afraid. Extremely repetetive scares, and lack all variation. Much is copied straight out of the main game especially the level design, which was horrible, sorry for that. The puzzles were okay and the usage of music wasn't bad aswel. But overall, tedious to play.

Looking forward to playing episode 2 and 3 for they are rated a lot better.

I did not get much of the story. But hey this is a lot different than a lot of custom story's which do not have stories at all.
Incredible level design.
Incredibly looked after.
Death system was good and worked fine.
Scares were thought out. (except the flying naked guy and some other jumpscares...)
Incredible chasing scenes.
Incredible atmosphere.

Some people complain about the framerate drops, In some maps they appeared, but only the few seconds in the beginning. It's not this custom story, it's your pc that makes it stutter.
