This is my entry to the second Frictional Games Winter Jam. I was inspired by Elder Scroll Games and Deadric Prince Hermaeus Mora. But this mod will take place on earth :)
You have a talent for creating very interesting maps. However, some of the puzzles are extremely obscure and require cheating or checking a gameplay to solve because they don't follow any kind of logic.
Or worse yet, they require you to notice something which is so hidden that it's just unfair and annoying.
You need to start asking yourself the question "If didn't know the solution, what would I think?". Or just have people test the puzzles and correct them or give hints if they get stuck.
Story was ok I guess.
6 - An okay mod with prominent issues, but has redeeming qualities.
Only play it if running around pointlessly for a long time doesn't frustrate you.
MANTAP
Beautiful level design (although there are some clipping issues with models being over each other quite often), great voice acting, original puzzles (only one of them was hard, the rest of easy and I'm saying this as someone who had issues with nearly every Penumbra puzzle).
It's not a scary mod but it has its style. Reminds me Penumbra Requirem, just more beautifil.
interesting design choices, great atmosphere but confusing puzzles and unncecessarily hidden items. i wasn't able to progress to the final test because my game crashed every time when entering that map and i didn't feel like restarting the whole thing. what i've seen i mostly liked, but more clues and interactions would have been appreciated. 7/10, decent work.
The puzzles in this custom story just aren't fun or intuitive at all instead they're very frustrating and arbitrary. Why the hell are there 2000 skeletons laying around but only that 1 specific skull is good enough for the bowl? Side note: 2000 skeletons doesn't make your mod look scary it makes it look tacky. Why the **** are there 8 over-sized skulls on the floor wasting my time when the solution is a crowbar arbitrarily hanging from the ceiling? You constantly misdirect our attention to non solutions while making the real solution so ******* absurd and out of sight that you have to use a guide. Speaking of guides even with a video walk through I'm just watching other people get frustrated at these ****** puzzles then they look up the solution too! One last thing, the loud *** breathing every 30 seconds is just as bad or worse than these ****** puzzles.
Nice custom story with almost no flaws. :) Only the crowbar puzzle was a bit hard to find out.
Любопытная история по мотивам скайрима, реализация вышла удачной.
Bless that Darkfire_Productions review. Although I did like some of the puzzles, the puzzles were kind of a step down compared to decayed history.
Excellent story, voice acting and level design.
Awesome mapping and environment.
Excellent story and voice acting.
10/10
