Poisonous

[I ZapZap I]

Amazing work, guys! To me, this is textbook to what a Custom Story should play like. Nothing that seriously tweaks with the core experience but boasts clever and interesting features that keep the player entertained. To me, there was a perfect balance between Story and Gameplay. The notes and backstory didn't go overboard, but instead was subtle and efficient and got the job done. The scares, encounters and puzzles were all near-perfect in my opinion and the whole atmosphere was also well done.

My biggest complaint is the ending, which I felt was a bit rushed. Not to spoil anything, but I felt that the whole escape could've been more elaborate. Having said that, the outro tied the whole story back together and gave it a sense of closure that I again thought was nicely accomplished. I would have made it a tad longer as well, maybe putting in a few more rooms or puzzles. Despite those few things though, this Custom Story was simply stunning. Poisonous easily ranks in my top 5 for all-time greatest Custom Stories. You guys really outdid yourselves! I give Poisonous a rating of 9/10.
