An entity known simply as the "Toymaker" has abducted you. You are now forced to participate in dangerous trials and puzzles.
Trails of the Toymaker delivers creative challanges and level design at it's finest. But I can't stop asking myself where the story line is. It barley is one.
You gave yourself a challange to see what you can make in two weeks, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to upload it. If it weren't for the amazing level design and intresting ideas, I would probably not have liked this in the slighest, but even though it lacks what every single custom mod should have (not to mention how short it is), it still amazes me, and if you make a story in the future, I will be glad to play it.
Oh yeah, and by the way, don't do like The Chinese Room did, make nothing interactable. Being able to pick up stuff is one of many reasons why Amnesia is what it is today, don't take that away from us.
7/10 - Good
Interesting, but way too short, needs to be longer. Nothing else wrong with it though, you've got a good concept, now you just need to expand upon it.
I think this custom story is very unique and fun to play. I really liked the maze part with the steam pipes. It does need more monster encounters. I can't wait for more.
That was great. I loved it.
First of all, the level design was beatiful, especially in the second map: I think the idea with the pipes and the machine like feel to it is a good one. I adore that type of map design.
The puzzle idea of the first map was really well done and something very different, after all I can say that it was exactly the right amount of this puzzle. A bit more and it would have got boring.
The second map was my favorite. I liked the jumping part the most, because I wanted to do something very similar one day.
I don't like this must-go-foward-design of a lot of custom stories, but that you have to search for ways, maybe climb a bit and find an unusual way for achieving progress or find a hidden passage or something like that. The puzzle in the maze was a bit stereotypic but alright.
I would say that you maybe could put a brute in the maze with the valves, just to add a bit of a challenge to it.
Also, it was way too short, but as you said, it is just a demo for what will come in the future.
Keep it in this style!
It was entertaining, well done!
epic
i love the puzzles
That demo looks really, really good. I'm not quite sure what the beginning sequence was supposed to be, but the mapping was really unique and cool. I really wish I as able to interact with more things, and I wish even more that I knew what on Earth was going on, but the use of atmosphere and detailing was exquisite, and I can't wait to see more.
This was enjoyable to play, but too short. I know it's maded only giving time 2 weeks, but fairly good job done here!
Beginning was cool and some little trick jumping and later on some events and scripts was really cool and never-seened stuff before.
Overall I loved it, but I can only give 7 because it was too short and too easy puzzles to figure out.
Really good - 7/10
onloy 2 maps.
First map was annoying , only jumping and no details at all...
Second map was also jumping and seaerching, but overall details were amazing!
Too bad almost everything was NON intereactable..
overall 5\10 for me.
Hope to se some actual mods\story's from you.
