Hello, this is my first custom story and I hope you will enjoy it. Don't forget to rate/review!
Well, this was lacking. I understand that this mod was a learning process, and that it is your first mod, so I'll be slightly more forgiving with my review.
Positives:
-There were not very many texture glitches, apart from the wall corners missing
welders
-The Brute encounter was surprisingly well designed
Negatives:
-Way, way too short. Even for a beginner mod
-Lack of events
-No objectives
-Library was very lazy in terms of design (identical shelves copied and pasted)
-Bland design
Overall:
I expected more, even though I knew this was a beginner project.
The basic idea of wandering through darkness is not the most creative of plots, but at least it is better than waking up in an unknown place without knowing why. However, the gameplay itself had some issues. The concept of darkness does not mean that everything has to be pitch black. As one of the comments state, that is more a lazy workaround than a gameplay element. In order to execute something like that properly, you need a very dim boxlight with minimal values, to at least be able to see something. The fact that you had no reserve oil was not a good workaround either, as it makes the player stress more about the oil amount rather than the environmental hazards or other gameplay elements.
The levels were detailed poorly. Corridors and rooms were both empty and lacked any sort of interactable items (aside from chairs) or other details. This was probably the biggest issue for me, as wandering through undetailed corridors in the dark isn't necessarily an intriquing task.
One last thing was the lack of objectives and events. The entire mod was just avoiding monsters and going from a level to another. After the first map I had already played the entire mod.
I wish you good luck for the future projects, keep making - keep learning. As of now I will give 3/10, but don't get let down by this review.
NOT BAD
Very short story. Even though it's your first story, it was good :).
Nice little mod that I enjoyed.
I translated the few texts into German. :)
