Informational: I only review Amnesia mods that I'm able to complete, and this one proved too frustrating for my directionally-challenged brain. I found myself wandering around the labyrinthine levels too often having used up all the flashlight battery and gone insane, making for an unpleasant experience, so I ultimately just gave up.

I got softlocked in this one toward the end, teleported into a prison cell I wasn't supposed to be able to get into and was stuck there. No autosaves, so I would have had to start the whole thing over, which I didn't want to do, so unfortunately that was it for me.

I can't get this mod to launch. Using The Brotherhood Launcher.bat brings up Justine. Did the newest A:TDD update break it?

I appreciate you speaking out about the state of the mod! I'm sad that I can't play it, but I would rather understand why than have the page be abandoned. I will keep an eye out for your other work!

Unfortunately I don't think this mod works with the new A:TDD version 1.5 update. I launch the custom story, and it just goes into a black screen with some fire crackles. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thank you so much Kira, you're the best! I just finished the trilogy and I loved it!

Followup: I was also unable to figure out how to go up through the hole in the lower floor of the archives to escape (see walkthrough pdf), and multiple video walkthroughs used an alternative method of creatively parkouring around the staircase rubble, which I ended up doing as well.

Tip for any new players: I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to move the bed in the prison cells before seeing in a video walkthrough by Fante ( Youtube.com ) that you can use the end table to help shove the bed over. The developer walkthrough pdf will NOT tell you this!

Just a forewarning for anyone who wants to play through the whole Nights of Anorland series (definitely worthwhile if you enjoy TDD mods with rich lore), I wasn't able to time one of the jumps correctly in order to get the good ending. I tried using a video walkthrough but eventually gave up and just watched the good ending (I was able to get the bad ending myself). TDD isn't optimized for platforming so hopefully I save some people some frustration.

I fell victim to this very softlock. Luckily the mod is short enough that I started over and made sure I didn't die, still 8/10 in my opinion

I got all the way to the elevator but was stuck in an infinite descent, went to reload and found that there were no autosaves. I didn't want to slog through all those big empty corridors again so this one was dead in the water for me.

Overall Chapter 2 was very good, but it was FAR too easy to die as the human. I ended up needing to reload an earlier save because I didn't have enough health to withstand taking a hit from the ghost lady when she first appears (I couldn't figure out a way to not get hit). If you're going to have permadeath, it should not be so easy to die and lose progress.

I too encountered a fatal bug. When I used the garden key to exit the prison and go outside, I was taken to a courtyard followed by a series of maps that seem like they're not even supposed to be in the game (items have no descriptions).

In Chapter 3, when I jump into the water after pressing the two buttons in the big first map, everything goes black and nothing else happens. I verified the integrity of the game files in Steam, but this did not help. Any idea what's happening?

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I was about ready to give up on the bloody thing. This mod has quite a few problems but that softlock was the absolute worst. I still gave it a 7/10 rating though because there were a lot of good aspects.

Thank you so much! This was a question I asked directly in an email, and I'm glad you've shared it with the community. A large part of why I didn't notice the drill bit there was because you can't pick it up until the door grate is gone.

This was a great mod; you are one of my favorite Amnesia: The Dark Descent modders!
