White Night - Total Conversion v1.1

Indeed it is interesting.

I totally agree that key point is to find a fragment of yourself in the story, of the player. At Amnesia, at first I was with the side of Daniel simply because I didn't know Alexander at all and because I couldn't simply hate him without any knowledge of what he did. Later on though, when you discover that you are actually far worse than Alexander well things changed for me. From that point I wanted to see the ending feeling that they both committed crimes and that they both don't deserve to be saved.

As far as Penumbra goes, I agree that I liked the ending of the game more than I did in Amnesia. And I mean that since I first played Amnesia and then the Penumbra series. The way that it forced me at the end to think like they do was, for me, amazing as an idea. Also, the ending was not good but rather sad for Philip.

About the ending, when I say bad I don't mean evil. For example I would characterize 2/4 endings of Amnesia bad simple because Daniel is punished for his actions. However, in reality, I consider them the right thing to happen.

I am a big fan of RPG games, together with many others of course, and that's because they always have an open world where you can find pieces of the story, tie them together and form the general idea/meaning that the creator wants to tell you. So in conclusion it seems that I'm a fan of fragmented storytelling and not (anymore) so much plot-based one (mainly because everyone use it) and that's why I liked Amnesia and the Penumbra game series so much.
