1. It doesn't matter if it is, I believe that regardless of what reasons maps are made for quality is important.

2. As opposed to Cranky's post, I can believe that his English isn't that good, but if he really wanted his story to have even better quality than before, he could have his story proofread-ed. A note for all CS makers out there.

3. I actually don't mind the music, but it putting aside the topic at hand (Since I'm not sure what the CS's maker was going for), whatever music you use will set the mood. If you use comical music, the mood will be hard to take seriously as horror. Again, this is talking in general.

4. I have to back up Cranky on this, even I don't entirely agree with his vague way of responding to this sentence. He was just expressing his opinion, and though it was rather extreme/harsh, it was all well in place.

Though Cranky I think if you want people to respond better to your criticism, you can be nicer with your words, so that people will know you are trying to help them in a friendly way, rather than interpret your post as hostile.

I'm trying to be impartial in these reviews, and I started doing them so that people wouldn't download maps they would later find out that they wouldn't like. I could call it a jumpscare map, but you are opening doors with carpets, you are at one point assaulted by a *wall* of 10 flying Jesuses, and a voice goes "Boom! Headshot!". This is at most some sort of bizarre comedic jumpscare map. It's everything that's not Amnesia. I'm suspecting that the creator is doing this on purpose to mess with the players.

Just hit combine folders and stuff like that. So if you downloaded this and it has a redist folder, all you have to do is open it, and drag all of the documents into your redist folder, or find the place with the same named folders. Sorry, I might have confused you, but if you still have problems, go to the problem-shooting page or look up how to download these. Good luck!

Oh, so I don't have to replace anything?
I thought I had to replace original Amnesia folders, and that felt bad. But I probably misread it, then!
Btw I use Steam not retail.

Oh, ok! You can probably look up how to download CS on youtube or on google or something if you still need help. And trust me, it doesn't erase all of your stuff (just make sure you don't overwrite or something like that, just hit the thing that tells you to combine them).

As I was reading this thread, I saw a lot of arguments and people fighting over their opinion. I just wanted to say I think people should respect other's opinions of the CS (although some of them don't have to be that rude, just saying ). Some people will absolutely hate this map (and I can see the CS from their point of view, and I respect their opinion), and some people will like it. Personally, I thought it was an entertaining map, because I saw it as a different type of CS, more for the fun and the wtf rather than for serious gameplay. Also, I consider it to be a nice break in the horror of the serious stories and main gameplay. I am not saying I don't like the serious CS's (in fact, I really like them and give them a lot of attention), but sometimes it's nice to have a nice little break.
Just wanted to say that.

If you don't like it leave this Thread.


Edit: The Power Castle Horror ... Sorry that you are all waiting so long but you have to wait a bit, right now I do not much time for mapping and scripting. I beg your understanding

I keep seeing this on the forum though I haven't downloaded/played it yet. From what I'm hearing, it's basically joke mod...I suppose I should give it a shot whenever I'm streaming again because this seems like the kind of map I'd want to play for friends as opposed to alone.

[Nickshrike]

I just played this whole custom story and found it interesting and a bit unique at the start, yeah it's a joke story and that isn't really my thing but it was much better than a lot of joke stories i've played.

Spoiler below!

At first, I found the story funny with all the naked guys attacking the suitor and I enjoyed Luigi's mansion as a fun game so I really thought everything fit quite well.
I didn't particularly like the outside bit at all as it got really tedious, once I got inside the house it was still pretty tedious.
The captain falcon bit was quite funny and I laughed at that but afterwards it started to get tedious and boring again.
When I saw the monster I knew it was a poofer because of the way the custom story was made, that is probably a bad thing as it didn't scare me at all.
Consider getting some proof reading for your notes, some of them made little to no sense, i'd be happy to help with that if you wanted.
If you were to create a sequel that kept the originality that some parts of your story had along with making it a bit less tedious then I reckon the story could be a lot better.

I'll give this map a 3/5 as it leaves a fair bit to be desired but I could see some good map making skills in it.

[Tommyboypsp]

Hehe, just completed it.
Pretty funny, though I felt like I missed out on some things:

Spoiler below!

-Before going through the door to go outside, there is a room to your right, but there's nothing in it?
-What's in the desk with the glowing red coming out of it, right before the end? :O Couldn't figure out how to open it


Nice job on the deformed things like the tinderboxes and the giant cockroach Haven't seen that before.The jumpscares got me good a few times, but I had seen PewDiePie's Let's Play, so I knew some of them beforehand. I had the sound on really loud though, so they still managed to scare me

Oh and when you take the elevator down, the light goes off and on again, as if there's some kind of technical issue. The light however is coming from a candle, so that doesn't make sense I don't know if this was a joke or a mistake, it's funny though : P

Oh and one of those falcon punches kicked me right into what was supposed to be a jumpscare, haha! So it went "Falcon PUNCH" *loud scream*

Cool story!

Spoiler below!

Edit: Oh and the money didn't serve any purpose, did it?

This is a story made by a PDP fan, for PDP, and besides Stephanos and lots of barrels, the creator has also made it a point to saturate his "story" with flying Jesuses, that also goes "Boom! Headshot!" or just screams obnoxiously. The mood music seems to come from "Luigi's Mansion", and the creator isn't even educated enough to write proper english. Avoid this map at all costs, even if people pay you money. I'd rather watch a screamer.
1/5

1. it's not for pewdiepie
2. he's german
3. there's no rule to use own music
4. stop trolling

2. He's Swedish :idea:
