Balthasar Steinbach owns a big castle in the middle of Germany in late 1839. He lives a blithe and worry-free life and loves being together with his wife and his two kids. Every week, he goes to the village's local market to find affordable, but useful stuff for his home. One day, he finds a mysterious stand, selling all varieties of ancient items for little money. Driven by a sudden urge, he buys a perfectly made, glittering glass orb... A few months later, Lucius van Rotenheim, a close friend of Balthasar, visits Castle Steinbach in an attempt to resolve a fight that has been disrupting their friendship. What he finds there, though, is a horrible sight... Take Lucius' role and find out what happened to Balthasar in this soon-to-be-released Amnesia Custom Story!

Hello there,
things have been quite for the past two months. However, that doesn't mean I didn't make any progress - as a matter of fact, I made a lot of progress!
The story is now 2/3 done and I'm aiming at a mid/end September release. It won't be October, I'll definetely release before that!
In the upcoming weeks, I'll keep updating this page with new OST tracks, screenshots and a new trailer. Right now, Balthasar's Sorrow has a play time of about 1,5 hours, depending on how fast you run through it and how many time you spend for exploration or figuring out a puzzle. That being said, I tried being a bit inventive in the puzzle part - you won't be seeing many find-key-to-door, combine-hammer-and-chipper or position-the-levers-on-this-numbered-board-according-to-a-note puzzles. Some puzzles require you to be fast, some require you to combine things you have found in a way you never had to in the main Amnesia game and some require you to think a bit to figure out the solution!

So, stay tuned, it won't be long until you can finally download and play the finished Balthasar's Sorrow!

Cheers,
ThePaSch
