Why are so many Amnesia custom stories so similar?

It doesn't matter. I just like Pewdie. He's really funny.

Yeah, but whether he's funny or not is kinda beside the point here. What we're discussing right now is the reason why so many maps are so similar.

Personally I agree with Andy. There are so many similar wallsets, and items which are pre-made inside Amnesia ready for use. Most people will be able to make a typical custom story with minimal effort by using those assets provided. As for plot, a lot of generic plots can be executed easily when using the "wake up not knowing where you are trick".

It's much rarer to see someone willing to take their work a "bit further", whether it's in uniqueness, modeling, or story-telling.
