A private investigator intertwines with fate when an event changes his life for eternity. A new Amnesia full conversion with custom voices, textures, models, enemies, music, and story.
First of all, I liked the story, and the ending twist was well done, it was really mind-blowing. The problem is that it was too short in my opinion, you could have made something huge out of this "Cycle" thing, and we just get to see a small event. So, still a great story, good job with that !
Then there's the gameplay, which was i'd say too easy. Not a single puzzle, I really felt like you didn't know what to do to fill the minutes between the intro and the ending. The guard sequence was interesting, though I didn't appreciate the fact that we didn't get to see more from this new enemy.
About level design and detailing, I'm kinda sad considering that you made an awesome map after the portal : that sort of sanctuary was truly amazing. And then you got the real life levels, empty, no detailing, it really felt very awkward. So I give it 7 out of 10 : great ideas, some nice gaming moments, but it just feels like it was released before you could lead your ideas to the amazing results I hoped. I did not enjoy playing it, except for the ending and the "through the portal" map.
Hey I tried this and after all I think it deserves 9/10.
Advantages:
+ Unique environment
+ Unique entities
+ Real human that is neither naked nor dead :)
+ Story
+ It is overally interesting
Disadvantages:
- Shorter than I expected (but not a big deal)
- It is a bit confusing
- Some bugs (I could not use the lantern like 1/2 of the time and I picked one and the same key twice - billiard room, if you want to you can fix that)
- After entering the emergency door and seeing the cutscene, the movement speed was slowed down and I could not do anything so I think that is the end I guess?
- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS(Do not take this disadvantage as complaint) - I dont know why but I got some major lags (like 1fps, really :) ) so I had to turn the whole CPU down and I had some problems with the launcher and graphics settings. For those who want to play this I recommend Quadcore or at least dont play this on older notebook like myself :).
Well finished today and enjoyed it!
I'm familiar with Scott Jund projects how unique and awesome they are, well this one doesn't disappoint at all. It was again something really different from other amnesia mods totally!
I mean... map designing and all those cutscenes are really well made and put a lot of effort. Well.. of course there are flaws which why I didn't rate it higher than seven.
- Lack of atmosphere and sometimes really bland rooms, areas
- Not scary, but interesting and tension builded atmosphere
with chasing guard.
- Not challenging puzzles, pretty linear game progress.
Overall I enjoyed it pretty much, there are moments where i was wooow... that explosion and "Portal sequence" parts were really great and what I most love is the ending and climbing that ladder and also that "voice and head" speaking visually for you. I expected for sequel if you are gonna made it some improvements for atmospherre, complicated puzzles, more scary enviroments, rich detailing etc.
Well done man, this easily deserves at least seven! :)
7/10 - Decent and different
Pros: -Interesting storyline
-Gorgeous outside design
-Well made cutscenes
Cons: -Simple inside design
-Lacks scary atmosphere and horror
-No end credits just a reload of the story
-Lack of puzzles or any type of challenges/Obstacles
unusual and interesting!
Astonishing design and story.
Doesn't work, dynamic link error.
**** this **** , and **** you ...
it just ruined my amnesia TDD redist folder ...
if you can't creat a decent custom story don't bother ... !
That was super awesome. I really hope to see more like this. I love the new "monster".
I really enjoyed this story. 7/10 is a good score for me. Spoilers ahead! The voice acting was expressive and natural, and the story managed to keep me guessing despite boiling down to a common sci-fi trope in the end. There was some good use of assets and creatively scripted set-pieces, especially the scene with the policeman.
What stopped me from voting higher was that the environments felt quite big and empty. At times it seemed like a considered aesthetic decision, at other times it felt like sparsity of detail, especially when crossing the big hall for the 3rd time.
The play time for me was only about 20-30 min. I would have liked more. I would've liked the chance to investigate what was really going on at the factory. Why were they experimenting with time? Was it something to do with WWI/II as implied at one point? Suspense, intrigue and more game-play could've been built around this.
Overall though, highly recommended for anyone looking to play a well polished short story.
