Total Conversion (mod) for the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Demo version of "Penumbra: Prisoner of Fate" - the prequel to the first part of the Penumbra series, revealing the fate of the mad miner Tom "Red" Redwood. The full version of the modification is developed on the HPL3 engine.
This demo was nice and I generally enjoyed it for what it tries to promote: the untold story of Red and his hidden past.
The atmosphere was pretty good, and I felt that I was in danger, even though nothing was in sight. I never felt that I'm actually safe, and I think that's good for this kind of environment.
I liked the little hallucinations and mindfucks through the demo, I hope to see more of that in the final mod.
The puzzles were ok, but I especially liked the puzzle with the blank page, since it requires some more thinking. Therefore, I hope to see more puzzles that requires the player more thinking, however the place where the puzzle is solved and the place where the puzzle is discovered/created shouldn't be too from each other. The blank page was in one map and the room that provides the solution was pretty far from that room.
It can be a little tedious for some players.
Now for the downside of this demo:
Graphics, especially assets. They weren't so good. I can understand the graphical limits HPL2 has, but I can't see a reason why you are still using the penumbra assets. They have a very low polycount, and some of the textures are very ugly (for example, that carpet in the first room. I could barley even tell that was a carpet)
I suggest that for your final mod, which hopefully will be made in HPL3, use more SOMA assets rather than penumbra/amnesia assets. There are some big chunck of assets that can fit really well with the environment of Penumra. The fact that you're making a penumbra mod doesn't mean you need to use low poly assets with low res textures.
Please keep that in mind.
I am excited to play the full mod and if you want, hook me up and I'll try to help you with the HPL3 version of the mod.
Can't believe it that I forgot to play this for so long.
Good start, makes me wait for the HPL3 full version even more. Nice mental state events for Red, great idea for a lantern, and the atmosphere we expect after Necrologue.
Really promising!
The only flaw with this demo is that it's a demo and not the full game.
Good
Looking forward to a full version
super
