The Trapdoor is a portrait of Jonathan Burke, a lonely servitor to an unseen and diabolical master. As isolation, incarceration, and debasement inevitably erode what's left of his sanity, his repressed memories begin to surface and the insidious menace of the trapdoor grows in his mind.

Ten years later, there's a new version of The Trapdoor!
This new version (3.1, "Reopened") is specially rebuilt for ATDD version 1.5, and may not be as you remember.
Original key features:
- Custom sanity system
- Over 250 lines of voice acted dialogue
- Two large, complex maps to get lost in
- Difficulty settings
New and redesigned for "Reopened":
- Sanity system tweaked and rebalanced
- Both old endings reworked, plus one brand new ending
- Twelve custom monsters: Grunts and Brutes re-imagined in claymation-like style
- Adaptive custom music track
- Expanded and re-balanced difficulty options, from Safe Mode to Nightmare mode
- Environments, lighting and atmospherics improved throughout
The easiest way to get and play this new version is on Steam Workshop... but if you wanted to read that you wouldn't be here! :P So, there's a version here on ModDB, but you need to make sure you have Amnessia: The Dark Descent version 1.5, or it will not work. If you're ready, you can grab it here.

I've gone and started a playthrough of your Custom Story/Mod here: Youtube.com
I must say, i love the approach you've gone for and the incorporation of 'Boney' is great! I have no idea how people couldn't recognise or understand where he was/it's importance. Really looking forward to continuing your CS, and i dare not venture down into the depths of that Trapdoor!
I was/am so pleasantly surprised by this MOD! Excellent work done!
I had 2 endings till now... :P
1000 downloads in 10 days! Woohoo! Thanks people. Hope you've all enjoyed the mod.
boney?
Are you asking where to find Boney, or are you just quoting Burke? :-)
I think there's a comment below (on another page) that will help you out if you're stuck finding Bone Bonce.
So I am a bit confused, Ive got all pigs from the bottom level. How do I get to the dinning room?
Me again :)
It's upstairs. Through the big door opposite the library, but you'll have to find another way through.
I know that, I was looking for 30 minutes. Any hints?
If you want you may message me via youtube.
great mod with unique and interesting ideas and storyline, sometimes with difficult puzzles where you spend 20-30 minutes to find out what to do, but all in all i really enjoyed it ^^ 9/10, i would like to see more stuff coming :)
