One man, one sad memory, one brutal lie. You play as Michael, a 20 year old man living with his family and guests in a pretty rich castle. You wake up one day and finds a cassette on your desk. It's from someone you know pretty well. Someone with a story to tell you. Someone that will lead you into a great adventure...
I finally finished this custom story, and the time it took was around ~40-50 minutes.
Positives:
-I liked the cassettes, and the added realism to them by the quality
-Storyline was great
Negatives:
-Design was a bit bland
-Puzzles were way too easy, perhaps a little too much hand-holding during the gameplay (do this do that and do this- didn't require thinking)
-Ghost kid scare was too repetitive, although there was a reason for it. Still felt it happened too often
-Many grammatical mistakes and spelling mistakes
Personal opinions (doesn't effect the score)
It was a bit strange in my opinion that there was a punishment for this one person who put key in the fireplace xD Is it too difficult to put the fire off and let the key cool and pick they key up instead of giving punishment?
Storyline: ✔
It was great! Easy to follow, and I really liked all the cassettes. Plot was great too. 8/10
Level design: ~
Levels were greatly constructed (walls, windows etc.) but detailing was poor. Lighting was great too. 6/10
Scare factor: N/A
I will not rate scare factor, because the story was not scare related.
Puzzles: ~
Biggest flaw to me. Too many key quests, which were all easy, for me at least. I did however like the oil quest and the fireplace quest. 5/10
Overall:
It was enjoyable, but could ave been a lot better.
Score: 6,33 = 6/10 - Enjoyable
Amazing story and lots of fun playing this, uncovering all of the, indeed, brutal lies. I played Final Revelations beforehand so my mind was blown in how these stories interconnect! Almost all of KrustiClawn's custom stories connect like that and it's so amazing, definitely recommend this. Another highlight is the beautiful mapping, the environments are so much fun to explore.
Great mod. :)
It was okay. Too short and too easy for my tastes. My favorite parts were the Easter eggs and references to your other games, Dark Descent, and F.E.A.R.
The Cassette players were cool and it was a great idea, but I couldn't understand what was being said half the time-though maybe that's my problem.
The levels were meh to empty too many times.
The story was pretty good, though I didn't really understand what was going on sometimes.
I liked the "puzzle" near the end, and just generally that whole section at the bottom.
Though a few things were left unexplained, or maybe I couldn't find any reasoning for them.
The music was brilliant, and the custom stuff was neat-even if White Nighted.
That's it for me
Very good CS. Decent storyline is present, and the music at the beginning was well chosen. I expected it to be shorter as it's named that way, but it's not that short. Just the cassettes were sometimes hard to understand, the sound should have been more "normal" instead of trying to emulate how a cassette player sounds.
i hope you are happy for now!
Great story! I really liked it!!! x3

A good short story, probably best for someone who has just started playing amnesia, but I liked it. :)
