The creator is the one claiming that it's inspired by Thief, and the only thing the two have in common is that the main character is a thief. If someone claims that their mods is inspired by something, then of course I'm going to compare the mod with the inspirational material.

I think that might be a bug on your end, I've checked my coding and there shouldn't be a single script where the key becomes uninteractable. Maybe there are remnant files from another custom story or full converstion mod interfering?

When you go back to the elevator, then walk through the Orb room and then go right. You should find a room with unlit candles.

It's one of the two items you have to give to the receptionist.

I hope you'll enjoy it! :D

The hint regarding the books is a dud. One of the books gives a hint regarding a "painting" and "gates of metal".

Some of the hints are fakes, once you've found the key you're done for that floor.

Thanks friend, I really liked the Hellsing anime, and it had some pretty good music, so I figured that people would enjoy it if heard. Glad to hear it worked out alright.

Thanks for tracking my Custom Story. I've thought of making a demo, but I don't think it would add anything to the CS.

If there is something I'd have to add to this, it's people that just rate a story in the comments section without adding an actual review. As if clicking the slider on the right to rate a CS is too much of a bother or something.

I've seen #4 happen three times, with one specific "developer" only. But I've never seen it happen that a developer just steals screenshots, it's a bit sad if you ask me.

The song that plays in the Main Hall is called "Fabricated Background"
The song in the chapel is called "Mask Of The Priest And The Bell Of The Chapel"
The song in the credits is called "Requiem For The Living"
All are great songs, in my opinion.
If you want, you can always put in a real review to up the score a little.

I don't know if you've tried to re-install Amnesia or not, but the game itself will be vital for testing. Without a functional Amnesia, making a CS will be difficult.
So, what you're saying is that you can start Amnesia, but wanting to play your CS causes it to crash?
Sounds like an error in the scripting, if you ask me.

If I'd have to give you some pre-emptive advice, it's these three.

1. Make screenshots inside of Amnesia, while playing it. Making screenshots from the Editor is a faux pas.

2. I look at your screenshots, and notice an excessive amount of unused space in each of them. Wide open rooms make for very boring maps, so try and fill it up with debris, furniture or other decorative items.

3. This is a personal gripe, but writing down every single character in the mod's description makes the story part in your Custom Story a bit redundant. You're more or less dumping this load of characters on the player, why not have the player figure out who these people are on their own, through notes and flashbacks 'n such? It'll raise the immersion, and people don't bother to switch back to the mod's page to check who is who anyway.

To be honest, it didn't remind me of the Thief series at all. The sneaking was extremely linear, which wasn't really actual sneaking at all. The only thing the player could do was walk down a very unusually shaped corridor.

The guards have the same disposition like the ones in Thief. But the fact that I can just stand still and nothing will happen, takes away any kind of suspense there might be. If you did that kind of stuff in Thief, a patrolling guard would spot you at some point and run after you, which would initiate a blood-heated chase through the streets. But because enemies don't move here, that is absent.

I've already written a review detailing all that's wrong, so I won't repeat it here.

4/10 - If you want to play a Thief game, play Thief, or Dishonored. But I can't recommend playing this if Thief is what you want.

Have you retried after completely restarting the Custom Story and retrying the door?

I'm afraid it might be something in your Amnesia files or in your computer. If it was a problem by my faulty scripting, everyone would get a crash when interacting with that door, and this is the first time it's ever happened.

If retrying doesn't do the trick, try re-installing your Amnesia, it might solve the problem.

There are over twenty doors, which door were you using? Did it have a caption on where it would lead, if yes, what caption was it?

It crashed? That's never actually happened before, or nobody ever bothered to report it. Are you sure it's not a problem on your end?
What were you doing when it crashed? I can't fix the problem if I don't know where it lies.

There's another key in the room, just check the table in the key room closely, you'll find it. If not, check one of the Let's Plays in the Mod's description, they've all solved the key puzzle.

Basically, what you're saying is that you want us to play your Custom Stories, but you don't want us saying that they're bad?

You knew it could happen, if you're willing to subject your work to the critical eyes of others, then you should be able to take the feedback and critisism they provide. If you can't do that, then you sadly have no business posting Custom Stories.

That kind of bug is new to me.
Did it happen to the door on the right or the door on the left when facing the large double-door with slime on it?
Does the door make the opening sound, yet doesn't open? Or does it make the locked door sound? Because if it makes the opening sound, simply leaving and re-entering the map should fix it.

The sueing gets ridiculous, this girl (Rachel Canning, I believe) recently sued her parents because they refused to pay for her private high school while she was already legally adult. It's pathetic, sueing my own parents? I'd rather be found dead in a ditch somewhere.

At some point, the judge said this.

"If we let things like this pass, then what's to stop children from sueing parents over not buying an Xbox?"

If I'd been there, I would've shaken hands with the man.

And don't get me started on people sueing companies for not providing a 50kg handguide on what NOT to do with the product.

In The Netherlands, however, things like that do not happen (often), it's done mainly in America. I'm not sure what it's like in Sweden, but I'm assuming that people are rational there as well.

Overdose by energy drink? My, what happened to the time where doing stupid things would have people scorn you, not victimise you? It's sad that getting sued is my main fear these days. If someone rides their bike against my stationary car, then somehow I'm at fault for not having moved out of the way.

But I digress, people will find a way to go around M rating, but they shouldn't be allowed to prance about and ruin the fun for others. And they should absolutely not be allowed to blame mature games when their kid starts doing weird things.

Yeah, the Minecraft community really shows what kind of self-entitled little twats today's kids can be. What I hate most about it is this way of thinking they often have.
"If someone is worse than me, he is a noob."
"If someone is better than me, he is a hacker, or there was lag."

People actually obeying the M rating system would keep angry parents and such out of our hair when they blame games again when there's a 14 year old kid who kills all his classmates and coincidentally plays GTA or CoD.

Childish Let's Players are a plague these days, I've seen some who sound like they're 9 years old, and then play a serious game like Amnesia while he derps around and complains that the maker is a douche for not making things super-easy on him.

And I've had it happen to me once on a FPS where some kid's mom asked me to stop swearing into the microphone while he kept team-killing everyone. After politely explaining that her brat was breaking the game's rules, she took away his internet so he couldn't play anymore.
Hilarious, but it's still sad that it could happen.

I've done some reading on the M rating system, and I noticed a lot of countries having different parameters and age requirements. From my point of view, they should just make one rating system, and have every country abide by that with an iron fist.
It'd prevent children from infecting the more adult games, as has already happened in the Xbox 360. The last I'd want to see is 12 year olds prancing about shouting "Ermegerd, Amnesia is so kewl, I'm 12 lmao".

The fact that you play Amnesia: TDD would not be allowed in any country, if you are actually 12 years old. It has a Mature rating, which means you generally have to be older than 16, 18, or 21 years old to play it.

So, yeah, I'm going to go ahead and assume that anyone playing this game is allowed by law to do so.

Let's keep the profanity to a minimum, we're all adults here.

Or you could do an AddEntityInteractCallback on your key, in which you can place a check for a value, if this value is wrong (AKA, the desk door has not been properly opened), then you can give the cheater an immediate credit roll with the words:

"If you won't play seriously, then I seriously won't let you play."

You could just use an [if] and [else] statement with a value that changes whenever the door has or has not been opened legitemately.

People can glitch through doors by throwing barrels on themselves? I've never seen that happen before anywhere, I'll try to find some videos of people who do that.

I already found a way to show the item in the desk, but have the player unable to pick it up, because a Blockbox is in the way, just to troll cheaters. Using a Blockbox normally does the trick, but making the item spawn in with SetEntityActive is another way to do it. Though I think that seeing the item in there could motivate players to search for the key, rather than have it spawned in the moment the desk door is broken/openend.

I love this, it's spot on and sadly very true.
It's a shame that the serious Let's Player seems to have become a dying breed as of late. Most of them are just "herp derp barrels bro".

I know a Let's Player, and he was a #2 and #3 combined. He kept on whining that there were so little scares in it, even though I had explicitly stated twice that the mod focused on storytelling, rather than horror. Then he got to a closed desk which had an obvious message saying: "I can smash this with something."
Fifteen minutes later, he found a hammer. He then proceeded to run around for an hour, hammering everything he could find until he accidentaly found his way back to the desk door. He smashed the thing.
"The maker should put a memento for that desk in here."
It's a shame that players expect you to hold their hand all the time.

But I digress. I have another one to add to this list. Cheaters.
It infuriates me whenever a Let's Player starts to twiddle with a closed desk door, because I know that he'll try to steal whatever is in there without bothering to find the key and play the Custom Story properly as was intended by the developer.
Maybe this can be prevented by the developer. But honestly, if we need to prevent the player from cheating and/or breaking the game on purpose, then where has this world gone to?

It's awesome that you're here. Don't worry, I'll make sure to implement your music to the best of my abilities. :D
