RE: Abduction: Chapter 3 [RELEASE]

Just downloaded it, not sure why the file was over 120 MB. I'm assuming you included the .cache files for some reason.

Since this was your first Custom Story I'll go a little easy.

Suggestions
Even if the story demanded it, don't bring monsters in too early. Hinting at them is much more effective than just immediately bringing them out within the first 4 minutes of gameplay. By 15 minutes in I was no longer scared and just had fun throwing barrels at Grunts while watching them stumble.

Go easy on some of the billboards. A lot of them were very well placed, but it seemed you duplicated a few on top of themselves which creates a really ugly color scheme akin to a low quality .GIF.

Include SOME ambient lights. In the bedroom area I don't think there was a single light outside the main room.

The Grunt that was supposed to kill me in the beginning failed pretty hard when I just held the door on his face. I eventually realized I was 'supposed to die' and just let him.

Make some more realistic emotions with the player character. After breaking out of a cell, why the hell would Daniel think "By God, I need a container of acid!"

The whole Water Lurker thing was just...pretty awful. It was pretty much directly ripped from the main game, right down to the initial trigger that creates the water planes. The lever opening a heavy door, followed by a near-replica of the Back Hall with the SAME music just made me turn the game off. I've already played Amnesia twice, I don't really want to play the same thing again.

Sorry to be a little harsh, and I know this was your first Custom Story, but I felt it was extremely unoriginal.

Edit
I gave you the courtesy of getting to the end. When I saw Alexander in the Orb Chamber I was like "Oh come on....really." But, that was a pretty cool idea. I personally think "Boss Fights" don't really have a place in Amnesia but your idea was good. You could have made it so much better though. For example, cutting to cheesy oldschool Gannondorf music was completely out of context of the game and just killed the seriousness for me. Also, you need to tone the damage way, way down considering how uneven the hitboxes are. Dying 14 times sort of breaks immersion, especially when Grunts 1-shot you after reviving. I liked how it went in stages but you could have done a lot more with it.

Creator of Wake, Through the Portal, Insomnia, and Cycles What to do with HPL3....
