In my last post I gave you a small teaser of what my first custom story would be. Today I began construction on the Amnesia custom story: Reincarnation.
Reincarnation
1845 was a harsh year for Germany, suffering a great depression, poor harvests, and rising inflation. This makes it the perfect setting for the tragic tale of Vincent Hartmann. Hartmann was a renowned scientist and philanthropist, however he was afflicted by a fatal illness which would eventually take his life. As his condition worsened, he had given up on traditional medicine and expended many different, more unconventional treatments to no avail. He had just about given up when something was brought up to him by a colleague. He had very little interest in religion, but the idea of reincarnation piqued his curiosity. After tearing through various books and scrolls, he dug up a rather ancient piece of information. The orb carried by buddha in his various sculptures traced back to an ancient artifact which was able to carry a person's spirit while it was between bodies.
He brought together many of his colleagues to form a covert sect intent on discovering the means to preserving their minds over generations, and thus becoming immortal.
This has been the first chapter of the prequel to Amnesia: Reincarnation.
Please check in later for the next installment.
