Simple. One of the best mods out there. What the developers achieved in this mod is outstanding, pushing the engine to the limit.
Its so good it isn't a mod anymore, it is now a full standalone game.
Amazing story.
Multiple endings.
Very good use of humor.
Amazing gameplay.
I really want to see more mods for this full conversion.

Amnesia: Chromanin [RELEASED]

Mod review

This mod is really good and its loosely connected to A:TDD, with some references here and there.
The maping is excellent and full of ideas. The story its a bit clumsy and don't make too much sense at first, but, somehow, it success in entertaining. There are few events, mostly cutscenes, but they are well implemented.
The custom story have two endings, both interestings.
There are no jumpscares, and thats pretty good, but alsto, there are almost no scares at all, and thats a let down in this type of game.
The most important feature of this mod, are the collectables. They make you explore everywhere to unlock the secret feature at the end. And that sole addon to the mod, sir, its what make it marvelous.
The only things one can complain about this mod are: the tiny amount of really blood chilling moments; and the somewhat-off story
Besides that, this mod is one of the best that i played in a long time.
I will be waiting for another mod from this developer. Surely, that one will be a total TEN!

The Stairs

Mod review

This custom story is quite atmospheric. The story of the mod is simple, yet subtly deeper than most around here.
The concept behind the story is interesting, and that what make this mod so unique.
The scare moments are well done. They make you jump literaly, but in the good way.
Also, there are no jumpscares, and that is awesome.
What this custom story lacks is a proper development of the gameplay mechanics, making it too linear.
But, using some of the mechanics of amnesia, adding a good concept behind, and with a decent level design, i said we have a success here.
Its a short and entertaining ride, with tension and a good amount of complexity.
Unfortunately, this is one ride. It doesn't have any kind of replay value.
But i really enjoyed this little mod. I would really like to see another work from this developer.

Escape from Brackenburg

Mod review may contain spoilers

This is a regular custom story. It has decent moments, quite lengthy and somewhat interesting story.
Unfortunately, this mod doesn't offer any new.
Its a plain amnesia experience. With all the components of the vanilla game.
The maps are well done. Not superb, but enjoyable.
The events are similar to the events in TDD, even some quest are similar.
***SPOILER***
The story have a totally unforgivable fault. The game beggins with the player awakening after drinking the amnesia potion.
A note gives you the main quest: to retrieve the master key and escape brackenburg. Then, the player is slowly introduced to
what happened in the castle and his tainted landlord. After some quests, the player discover that he actually killed the damned landlord after suffering some tortures, and then drink the amnesia potion.
Why go throught all the mod, searching for a damned key, learning about some mad aristocrat, when you already killed it, and you could actually had taked the master key, writted a note and then, drinked the potion, easyly escaping the castle
after waking up all fresh and new to a happy new life?
For me, the story of this mod, is pure nonsense! It have great and interesting things in it. But the motivation and ending
are quite stupid with nothing of inspiration.
***END SPOILER***
The rest of the mod is rather easy. Enjoyable. But nothing to take really serious.
Its a playable mod, thats for certain.
But nothing more out of the ordinary.

META - full conversion mod

Mod review

This full conversion had a lot of new contents, but sadly, almost no story at all.
The events and the maps are good. The custom models are awesome.
But, what we seek in here, a good compelling and amazing story that put us on the brink of the chair, is nowhere to be found.
There are a lot of notes scatered everywhere, some say interesting things, but the proper story is blurry; like trying to do a jigsaw
puzzle with a dense curtain of mist in front of your eyes.

The score of this full conversion is largelly granted to the custom content and good maps. If i can rate the story separately i will
give this mod a 3 (three).
And thats is a total shame, considering the good plots Umbakarna offered us.

Down the rabbit hole REMAKE

Mod review

This mod its quit unique.

There are a lot of imaginative stuff in this custom story. And this alone its for what this mod is soo important.

The maps are mix between some really large and annoying, and others still a little big but entertaining. And some have again, really imaginative stuff to offer.

The events are amazing, with a lot of things happend around all the time.

The voice acting was, at first, laughable, then a little monotonous. It could be a lot better. And i found strange that the character talks to himself so openly...some expression when he saw smething are splendid, we all would say something like ''oh, F***'' when looking something disturbing...but most of the time he is just speaking alone...no sane men talk to himself that way. Thinking that way, when founding something, maybe. But not talking.

The plot is somewhat good, not excellent, but neither bad. But a better voice acting and a much better ending song than the ''back to the future'' one, will make it a lot, really, a lot more serious. For times, i don't know if something was made properly for the player to laugh or if was so bad acted that it caused me to laugh.
The not-so-serious-but-still-serious approach is not too easy to handle.

What this custom story really lacks is strong challenging and frightening moments. While i played it, i never feel overwhelmed by fear, or tension. And thats not good. We are looking to feel scared. Thats why we love Amnesia.

The mod is, beyond all the stuff it lacks, quitly enjoyable. Because there are details and things interesting in every map; twist in every corner that make the gameplay atractive and joyful.

I think that the developer has a lot of potential, but he/she must decide before doing a mod, what approach to take when telling the story.
If this was a serious-serious mod, maybe it could be one of the best around here.

The Raven

Mod review

Simply amazing mod, the map is simple but strong, with lot of details.

The story is the best and we all know it

Could have a better rating, but i feel the house unnesesary big and that hinder the experience a little.

I really liked this experimental mod

String

Mod review

I will made a review of this mod solely based on the gameplay atmosphere and maps.

The reason is simply as the story is somewhat ungraspable to me because of the distorted voices. They are quite difficult to understand, even for a native english speaker who played this story and tried to explain it to me.
If this mod have subtitles, then everyone could understan it properly and rate it right.
This reason is, for me, the mayor outback of this mod

This one isn't an Amnesia experience, its more like a playable short story.

The maps are perfectly detailed and with an exceptional design.

The atmosphere is excellent, creepy and eerie with a touch of melancholy to add more flavor.

Its rather short, less than half an hour of gameplay, but this is not bad, it seems to be a good story (couldn't properly say, because there are tons of voice recordings distorted by gramaphone noise and other dreamlike echoes that difficults the understanding of the story).
The notes some add to the (ungraspable) story, and others only help to understand what is needed to do for advance.

This is not, again, an amnesia experience. Its a creepy and interesting adventure type mod.

I expected a lot more, maybe, if the developers agreed to add some subtitles, then, maybe, the score will go up.

A Late Night Drink

Mod review

This custom story is quite unique and innovative.

There are tons of amnesia custom story mods, but only a few have a decent script.

Well, this one, have an excellent script and including cut scenes.

I have nothing to say against this mod.

Is an intriguing and well crafted story. It have different moods in it, making it really enjoyable.

The events are marvelous, and the scripting is awesome.

The maps are really good.

Maybe it could have a little more terror, horror, and tension. Or maybe not, maybe more ould ruined it.

Don't know, its really good the way it is.

Its not a ten, because this custom story really, but really needs voice actors.

Every dialogue is interesting and i think that this mod really deserve to have the best voice actors.

And also, some of the puzzles are rather hard to work-out-in-game, like the aknowledge puzzle. A little more guidance throgh them surely will help a lot. Its not good if every time you get stuck in game, you have win back and chek how to get pass.

Beyond this two things, the game is one of the best in the amnesia community
