(DO NOT VIEW ON DESURA. USE MODDB) The Attic is an Amnesia custom story.
Its great and keeps me on the edge of my seat whenever I play
Part 1 was good but the rest of the story started to make zero sense.
I was really enjoying this CS in the beggining. Even with the maps with few details, i was paying attention to the history and reading every memo i found. But then it become another non-sense history with no immersion. Anyway, i kept playing it, when a naked guy flied over me. After this, it became a jumpscare game, with monsters breaking doors everywhere. I really thought i was going to enjoy this CS because of the beggining, but it looks like you just throw away your ideas and started making a jumpscare CS.
This custom story had a promising begining...but the rest its and extreme fail.
There are maps with interesting ideas, but they are totally arbitrary, they don't make sense at all.
And there is little more to say beyond the interesting maps ideas.
The scares are just jump scares, with flying naked men (again? reconsider definition of horror if you're gonna use this) and monster breaking doors everywhere all the time.
The story its non sensical at max. Need a total rework. There are no mementos, well you really don't need'em, but, really? maps so obvious that don't need any memento at all? just search for key and try it in one of all the doors to jump next level?
Really guys? Did you made a plan for this? Did you made this mod for pewdiepiers? Just a mod for people that think horror its equal to scream like a b**ch after a flying naked man?
Why the hell the protagonist didn't go back to his house after visiting the town and have to take a trip into a cavern, then a temple, a castle and finally home?
If someone does a bad mod because of lack of skill, its okey, will improve with time, but making a bad mod because the ideas where throwed in
and have no planification or sense at all, its an insult to frictinal games and all the Amnesia players community.
Even the worstest mod had planification, one i can't remember the name, have planification of story (little, but there it is) and its one of the worst.
But this one...
And that ending? ...no more words.
Shame on you, guys. Shame.
Whoa, amazing!!! Really!
It is freakin´ scary too! In part two, I just looooved the secret room. xD It was so funny! 10/10 for me ;)
A masterpiece!
The story was interesting at first but later it became confusing. The whole journey over there and back again didn't make sense. On the good sides the variety of places were rather enjoyable and well designed. So it's a well deserved 8.
Probably the third best one I've played after La Caza and Abduction (I've played about twelve). A lot of fun.
A lot of the levels are really well-designed, especially the house and the town. I liked the emphasis on scares - I was on the edge of my seat throughout much of the game. The portrait in Derrick's bedroom is a nice touch too. Many of the atmospheres are really effective and evocative too, like the fog and the rain in the forrest. The voice acting of Derrick's mother was excellent (bad voice acting is a problem in other mods). I thought the ending (very mild SPOILER) was neat too in that it kept things scary and creepy yet also satisfying and thought-provoking.
The biggest problem was that the story, though interesting at first, isn't strong enough to pull through the long duration of the mod. After a while you're running around through sewers, a basement, a bunch of collapsed columns, and a castle and it's hard to even remember why. Also a little too much oil and too many tinderboxes - the effect was to keep you focused on evading the monsters, which was great, but the basic role of darkness in the game was undermined because you always had a ton of sources of light.
Still, this was very good, and I'm saying that as someone who dislikes most of the mods I've played.
7/10
most custom stories I have played lagged a little and stuff, but this cs lagged so much, made my fps drop to 4-7 all the time almost, story is great but the lag drags the experience down very much therefore I give it a 7, sorry if it depresses, maybe you should try fixing the lag ;)
This map is incredible!
