Occult Clockwork is a project that provides short custom stories and fc mods, created under 24 hours totally, followed by the attention of a timer. Every small mod is a different release that can be rated. All of them have their own style, united only by the limited time and my sick imagination. I worked 2-3 hours on the current project per day, with some music on, then i paused the timer, and continued next day, or when I had time.
My overall rating for this series of limited-time mods is 9/10. It was already impressive to be able to do what you did with The Zeroth Entry, but then to be able to put the whole First Sin trilogy together was incredible, especially the moving Chapter 3 which serves as a fitting culmination of the successful experiment of making mods in only 24 hours!
its amazing what someone can achiece in 24 hours
Very nice trillogy. I like it. Good work Kira, as usual.
I know you asked us to rate each mod individually at each download section. However, this review is for all mods combined (except the Harrowing Holidays mod).
Zeroth Entry
Level design: 8/10
Story: 8/10
Puzzles: 8/10
Music & sounds: 7/10
Creativity: 8/10
Bugs, flaws: 7/10
Notes:
If more time was put into each mod, damn would it have been way better.
Still for such a limited time put into this, it's definitely a good story. However, due to said limited time, the mods aren't exactly well bug tested.
I don't mean any disrespect, but you have made a whole bunch of amnesia mods, and you don't know about wall_extensions dude? In the kitchen map, it seems like you used wall_default for both floors, making the walls not correctly connected to each other. Tried jumping between the walls and fell out of the map ^^.
The First Sin Prologue
Level design: 8/10
Story: 8/10
Puzzles: 8/10
Music & sounds: 7/10
Creativity: 9/10
Bugs, flaws: 5/10
Notes:
Could "kill" the dog by throwing boxes on him. Doing so made him idle and unable to move.
So when I was supposed to follow Max, guess what. Had to restart because he didin't move.
I then followed him after opening the gate and saw him dissapear through a wall, lol.
During the grunt part, some youtubers have candles to jump on to get to the other side.
I didin't have them. At first I was confused what I was even supposed to do. Then after
watching youtube vids and finding out I had no candles to jump on, I tried jumping to the metal bars above the door only to find out you added invisible walls for some reason.
Took me a lot of attempts to finally get across by jumping on the tree.
The music used at the final chase was lame and made me feel like it wasn't scary or dangerous at all.

Neutral: (Opinions that don't affect to score)
Easter egg. We, the developers met in real life.
Who cares? ^^
Conclusion:
Could easily be 8/10 at least if the mods were poperly bug tested. A couple of the mods has very few bugs in them. The other two had bugs so severe that it made it nearly impossible for me to continue.
This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better if, the mods were made under 24 hours, BUT you then had unlimited time to bug test them properly. Nothing in your mods can be changed, unless the changes are for bug purposes.
It's not often 24 hour mods are good. Despite the bugs though, I think you guys succeeded pretty well. If you put all mods togheter into 1 long mod, worked longer on it and bug tested it, it could easily have been 9, maybe even 10/10. It has huge potential. Even if properly bug tested, it could have been 8/10.
Still, with the time limit you had, the mods are overall good and I recommand them.
7/10 - Good. Recommended
