In the late 90s.. After a recent promotion, senior-inspector Howard Willson is made aware of a closed case regarding an old library located in the forest just outside of his hometown. The case involved a few disappearences of local tourists that had visited the library at some point. Nothing had ever been found in there until Howard discovered a sinister tragedy behind the mysterious disappearances. Will he manage to unveil the secrets and triumph or succumb to horrors within the walls of the library?
This story has wat too much flaws.
No hints, no narrative, just look and see for yourself.
Also in the attic, where it is SO dark, throw a chair at a random wall.. W T F ?
The lantern shouild be available in the beginning WHEN IT IS DARK.
You get the lantern 80% of the story, and when it is LIGHT...??
4\10 I'm sorry, its just not good.
Scary custom story!
Nice work
I went back and read my review on the original mod. Although I admit I don't remember much of it, due to the sheer amount of mods I have played, but I remember the story and timeline being a mess.
- The first point is, that the story is much more coherent now. I didn't have the same out of place feeling as I remember from the original. The story isn't fantastic in itself, but I think what you were going for with this mod, it's a huge improvement, and there were plenty of readables to go through if the player wishes to do so.
- The level design is pretty unorthodox sometimes, and for the better of it. Nice details and music were put into most of the maps, the few shortcomings being a few weirdly scaled models and bilboards, nothing that made me rethink my decision on the design being good. Nice job, especially with the West Wing and outside sections!
- The puzzles for the most part weren't too complex, but a few were a bit obscure to figure out (the platforming part at the drainage and using the flask in the finale). Platforming where featured could have been done better, but all in all it performed okay in this regard as well.
- Monster encounters were surprising sometimes, and you used some nice custom ones here and there. Nice oil scare!
- For the cut section I cannot speak, as I don't remember it. The mod has good length overall, doesn't try to be longer than it should be.
The basic principles of the original mod are flawed sometimes, which produce weird decisions in design and gameplay occasionally. I still find it a good addition to the amnesia modding collection.
The Profaned Capital while still being more revolutionary, does not make this remaster any less of an improvement upon the original. As I rated the original 8/10, I reinforce this with a strong 8.5/10, and round it up to 9 because of your eagerness to fix the bugs I reported.
Good job!
Classic One of the best
