I fear my life is in peril. Where I am or how I got here I have no recollection of, for my memory is fragmented and my mind scattered. I find it necessary to write down my thoughts for fear of losing them again. I don't know how many times I have drifted in and out of consciousness, or for how long I have been here. I see visions beyond this nightmare, visions of wood and carpet instead of stone and dirt, I hear rain.
Damn I loved this I have already gived feedback on FG forums.
It's still one of the best mods out there easily. Professional mapping, lightning everything is just perfect! Long gameplay, not boring, really scary, boss fight is damn unique and ending I was wow. Really sad, but DAMN EPIC! Try this, you won't regret it.
Thanks for making this. You should be proud :3
I wanted to wait until patches were installed so I could make a review based on a best working experience. This custom story is remarkable and has some of the most original ideas I have ever seen compared to every other Amnesia custom story out there. The scares are perfect, many moments kept me tense while allowing some breathing room, and also made me think outside the box.
However this mod comes with it's moments of frustration. There were times the early glitches stopped me from progressing. Also the lack of clues for some of the puzzles stopped me as well. An early puzzle in the custom story had me scratching my head for awhile until I exhausted every idea and finally pushed forward. I like how you made the player try to experiment, but at the same time it didn't feel like what I was doing was a rational plan of action.
The level design felt a touch out of place at times but it didn't take away from the overall state of immersion I was in. The voices used were great but Ulrich's could have came out more clearly, plus the grammar was most excellent within the notes.
Playing this again I wish it felt like a fresh experience since I already solved all the puzzles while the glitches were present, however I was happy to play it again and find every secret. Kiorgaard I know you put a lot of man hours into this and it really shows, this is now one of my favorite Amnesia custom stories and I thank you for giving over a year of effort to the community. I hope to see more of your ideas come to life if you ever make another story. Best regards!
The most blind-blowingly original CS I have come across thus far. The creator of this story is a very sick individual and must be fed to a grunt right away, hehe.
Thank you for messing with what sanity I had left, I loved it!
Interesting puzzles, good scares, great level design. Enjoyed this one a lot.
Excellent mode with spooky levels. For full walkthrough see my Youtube channel: Swankest CZ
Truly a great one,replayable too.
It's got scares on point, gameplay on fleek.
What's more to say, I enjoyed every bit of this mod.
A fantastic mod. Story and level desgin in particular were top notch and unlike any other Amnesia mod out there.
All the puzzles, events and scares were unique and brilliantly scripted, which made for some really epic moments and the ending to the story is easily one of the top three endings of all Amnesia mods I've played (Obscurity and A Coward's Debt being the other two)
No, it may not be the scariest, but that's only because it focuses more on storytelling, atmosphere and originality, which is totally fine with me, in fact I wish more mods could put as much effort into the story as this one did. Really great and I hope to see more from this creator in the future (I know it's unlikely, but I can dream!)

This game was incredible, remarkable, I would in-fact say. The game started out as many custom stories, you're in a cell. But it was a lot more sophisticated than that after the escaping of said cell, with the puzzles in the Torture Chamber, etc. As the game progressed, so did the story, and it felt like a truly good story created by a team of professionals; not the four or five people mentioned in the credits.

I began to enjoy the game more towards the Castle area, it was really fun to play. The puzzles were standard, the scares however were really good and the level design was incredible! And then as I progressed more, read the notes such as the one about the priest, I noticed how much thought and care went into the making of this game.
My favourite part, was however, in the chapel with the priest that was talked about in a previously found note. It was an amazing, and unique idea. Sort of like a boss fight in Amnesia. And it terrified me, I don't think a custom story has ever made me that scared before!
And then the ending, the ending which would make Alfred Hitchcock proud. You were insane, it was all part of your insanity, it never happened. And the suitor you managed to trap, was just a regular person, now dead thanks to your brain's irregularities.
I would have preferred an ending which didn't mean hanging, but nevertheless, overall this custom story was absolutely amazing.
I would give this custom story a solid 9/10. For the story, level-design, grammar (Trust me its a big deal for me, seeing as about 80%+ of the custom stories have terrible grammar), the plot twist, the terror this game puts into you, and just about everything.
I hardly dislike anything in this custom story, perhaps if it was a bit longer, but besides that I like pretty much everything in this custom story, and especially considering the small amount of people that made this.

My over-all impression was that the story was incredible, especially towards the end of the game, it was definitely one of my favourite custom stories, if not, my favourite, which is why I am giving this a remarkable 9/10.
This mod tells such a great story. The ending in particular was very memorable. It's not the scariest, but it has some great, scripted events that will keep you on your toes the entire time, including one particularly good chase scene, as well as a pretty good boss fight. Also has some secrets.
