The best "Amnesia" custom story I've ever come across!
It's very detailed and long, coming in chapters, which makes one thing of a literary work - and the storyline, indeed, resembles one in quality.
"The Great Work" features some fascinating topics: The very title alludes to the mysterious ways of the medieval alchemy, and the central figures of the story are based on real historical personalities. The non-linear storyline is supported brilliantly throughout the game.
The maps are beautiful, the scripting faultless; the atmosphere - total immersion at its best.
This CS is definitely something to keep for replaying, along with the original "Amnesia".
This story is awesome!
It's very interesting and well made, featuring a great voiceover. The very best parts are the beginning and the end. One of the best custom stories for Amnesia, with narrative as strong as that of the original game!
I find everything about this game wonderful! For me, it is a work of art.
Most of all - above its great graphics, above the unbelievably immersive music and the masterfully written storyline, - most of all I am impressed by the way 'Amnesia' handles such topics as torture and redemption. There is the level of spiritual and intellectual maturity in it I haven't yet come across in any other computer game. Most just present violence as fun; well, here you will find something different.
The general atmosphere is very dark and somber, yet so beautiful. Being more than a horror story, 'Amnesia' invokes the feeling of sorrow, if one goes the right way about immersion.
'Amnesia: The Dark Descent' is ideally meant to be a solitary experience, so I'm not sure what to think of some LPs (but that's an entirely different topic); yet no matter your playing style, if you appreciate a good narrative, you would like this great game!
A unique storyline with an immersive atmosphere, highly influenced by different cultures existing in Russia. Russian language version has awesome stylistics and is quite untranslatable.
The game might be a bit too postmodern (as was the intention, so that's a matter of taste).
On the whole, a lovely experience with some replay value.
