RE: Amnesia: The Second Dimension [glimmer of hope...?]

I don't think the main menu would be that much of a hassle, as long as it's possible to transition more smoothly than normal. To exit a custom story, you need to run the StartCredits script. I imagine you can just keep the credits blank, but you'll also need to so something about the automatic "The End" string that follows. You can probably hide it in the lang file, but I don't think that would remove it, so the player would still have to wait until it has appeared, then click to return. Perhaps that message should be edited to something more user friendly, maybe "Level complete. Click to continue"-ish?

Problem with that is that it will ALSO appear at the ACTUAL credits you were to use for the game itself. You could always simulate the real credits with the use of a scrolling image though. That way you can also make it more fancy and even on a note like in your trailer. Anyway, you'll still need to exit the game after the "fake" credits in that case. Doing so would have to be done with the StartCredits script, which would run the "Level complete" message too. Are there other ways to return to the menu? What about StartDemoEnd? I don't know how that one works.

So yes, having to go back to the menu would DEFINITELY be worth implementing if it decides the mod's release. It might be a bit clunky, but you can try to your best efforts to make it work as well as possible.
