I played your level and I loved it. There is a certain atmosphere that emanates from your story.
I met a few bugs but I think they are already mentioned in previous posts.
Thank you very much for this awesome custom story !
I simply love this story, sure there was a bug here and there, but there were few and the rest was simply awesome.
Cant wait for the final release.
Bugs:
Spoiler below!
Sometimes when you die, the camera gets stuck, and you cant look around nor move. This happened only once, in the first level.
When you go near a tree in the the outside nightmare and jump like crazy, sometimes you will fall through the ground, and then you will get stuck. (this happens when you get bellow the tree, the player then pushes himself below the ground.) I think the only solution to this is having a script area below the terrain and when the player collides with it, either kill him or teleport him to the starting position.

Already fixed that one hole. I missed a block area :O
Creator of Wake, Through the Portal, Insomnia, and Cycles What to do with HPL3....
Downloading now. I'll report back when I've played through.
EDIT: Alright, I just played through the last part (I had a save from the beta), and I think that was the best custom story I have played so far. Tbh, that's not really saying much, but it was still great. I only have a few complaints.
Spoiler below!
First of all, the outside scene, where you get the contained lightning, is kinda bad. It looks like suck. I know it's not something you can really fix using the in-game assets, but if you feel like expanding on this idea, that would be something to improve on. Also, the water in the sewer was moving way too fast in one direction, I don't know if this was intended, but as it is, it looks bad. Other than that, I thought it was great. I especially liked the Crucible of Night. That was possibly one of the most awesomely epic areas I've seen in a while. I've always been a sucker for good lighting, and sir, that was amazing.
The girlish scream that Daniel puts forth as he sees a disturbing event is enough to make my day.
Thanks for this mod!
I died early on in some of the steam, but there didn't seem to be a saved game available. Just sitting there in front of a red tinted screen, couldn't do anything but quit (and restart, which I won't do until I know how the save system is supposed to work ).
Very nice story! I saw it in a beta stage but decided I'd wait for it to be complete, glad I did wait. Is this the first custom story that hasn't been just a 'test' map? I look forward to playing more of your custom stories.
I was half expecting a grunt to bust in at the end!
I liked the use of the hub level and associated puzzles. Some of the level design was a bit ropy but it certainly didn't detract from the overall Objective based game play.
Cool ending. I am thinking of doing something similar with my campaign (which is slowly coming together.)
Anyway, Good job. I'll give you 8/10 for this experience. You've earned your cookie.
Do you intend to continue making stuff for 'Amnesia'?
