Mod review

I enjoyed this custom story a lot - with some exceptions.

First thing I noticed right off - too many monsters. There were times when the spawns became predictable as they came so often that it was annoying not scary. I don't mind monsters, but when you're ducking and hiding ever few moments it sort of kills the tension. One particular encounter that didn't despawn made an area frustrating to navigate.

Overall atmosphere was dark and creepy but not what I would deem fear-inspiring. Story was a very good concept and well thought out if a tad short. In game sound effects (ambience) were nicely done but very loud and distracting at times.

Scripting and level design were well done. It could have had more puzzles and less wandering aimlessly avoiding grunts but that's just my opinion.

One thing that did keep me from rating higher - way too many water monsters in far to small an area.

Very short story that I felt could have been so much more. Puzzles were non-existent as it was mostly just a search for keys and avoid random monster spawns. Atmosphere was creepy but did not inspire true tension or terror. Despite the shortcomings, it was well done and it did keep me entertained.

The best custom story I've ever played. Unique story, creative level design and deviously clever puzzles that are both rage-inducing and rewarding at the same time. Everything comes together perfectly. Bravo!
