You wake up in a house that you don't recognize. Confused, you begin to register the house in search of answers, but you feel like you are forgetting something... Find yourself in this small house and face your fears as you walk through darkness, but be careful, who knows what can be waiting for you in those shadows. There are two endings, will you find them?
I really enjoyed this. You managed to scare me 10 years later in Amnesia which is an achievement in itself. You put a scary ambience into very basic rooms and into a very small place, managed to make a cliche story interesting and detailed with ending choices. I really hope you will make more stories as if this was your first attempt it's only gonna get better. 7.5 and i'm rounding it up for the nice scare and because of your great attitude on criticism and improvements :)
Played the newer version. However, there's no improvement at all. Sorry.
+ Level design is decent
+ Some scares are great
+ Puzzle
+ New monster
+ New sounds and musics
- Poor story telling and terrible ending
- Poor english.
- Terrible monster AI.
- Too short
- Book lever is glitchy. It stuck sometimes.
Story isn't even that bad. I think the timing of you uploading this cs was unfortunate. Grammar mistakes and that rushed ending made it look a bit worse than it is though.
The atmosphere was phenomenal and the lighting even more so. I found the lantern to fit more than the flashlight.
The cs is best played in one sitting, as there are some annoying and game-breaking bugs if you save and exit and then reload. Apart from that the cs is short and leaves a better impression that way. The cs being short isn't really a problem - the reason why some didn't like that is, they just won't admit it, they (as well as me) wanted more of this.
So far the atmosphere was my favourite (including the scares, which are creative for a change). Another aspect to add is the beautiful creative chase sequence you've added (first one).
I have played a ton of custom stories and I can tell you that this was one of the scariest I have played so far! Others are more refined and optimized, sure, but while they're fun, I often am leaved unimpressed by the atmosphere and even if that's not the case I'm not truly scared of them.
You really have an exceptional feeling for this genre.
Excellent job. Hopefully we can see more of you.
Although I agree with the rest of the reviewers giving a lower rank, I can't but feel respect at the dedication of the author.
Yes, it has bad English, but I have seen much, much worse, even from other fellow English custom mission makers, so I don't want to judge harshly on that regard.
In regard to the monster, it's an asset most of you will be familiar by now, especially in "Amadeus".
But one good thing about it is that, despite the AI arguably being stupid, it was used very well.
The story itself is rather bad, but I say again: I have seen much worse.
Also, as everyone else says, it is indeed short, I'd say that's actually a bonus since I am busy these days but I want to play something fast. A quick scary story is fun! However, I don't want to add that to the rating, short and long is subjective.
The way the story progresses is rather fun, I do like how there are "forced" mini-cutscenes, at first I thought it would be a problem, but then I realized they were very well-made.
Overall, I'd say, it is a very good short story despite all those flaws, you should give it a try, just don't expect it to be long or "amazing" like Amadeus.
On another note, which I should add because I said it so in the beginning, this author seems to be very dedicated that he even made a FORUM for it right here in Moddb, I don't think I have ever seen that in any other Amnesia mod.
Kudos to the author for his dedication!
I enjoyed this mod, my main issue is that there was way too much key puzzles. Other than that, the scares were really great in my opinion. And I am not sure why the lantern had infinite oil but I'll take it lol
Overall a short but scary little mod, can recommend!
A very short custom story about... what exactly?
This isn't a joke about having amnesia, the plot (along with this custom story in general) is very forgettable, and isn't aided by the very poor English from beginning to end.
Other than that, the few puzzles this story has are okay, nothing was too difficult and the keys weren't too hard to find.
The map design feels almost claustrophobic, which didn't bode well for the segments in which the monster made an appearance, who by the way, has a very dull design.
Overall, it's a harmless custom story that can get a few scares out of you; the map design and plot are very lacking, but it can easily be beaten in under 40 minutes.
Story could be more detailed and there is little buildup. I loved the ending however.
good work.
Rather short but VERY immersive, this mod made me stay alert the whole playthrough even after having played dozens and dozens of mods. Also really liked the fact that both endings could be considered good options (in contrast with the classic good and bad ending), it's always nice to see some freshness in those little elements in mods nowadays. Good job!
enjoyable!
