RE: Amnesia: The Great Work - FULL RELEASE
Damascus & Co: I've just reached Chapter 3 and am taking a break to tell you how fantastic this custom story is. The level of quality is pretty staggering and the puzzles are really novel and interesting, but more importantly you've managed to actually scare the shit out me!

Congratulations to everyone involved for completing this beast and thank you for the hard work.

This is actually such a great story. It actually has atmosphere and gets under my skin more than any other cs I've played, to the point where I am legitimately scared. It also has a lot of story and doesn't seem to be losing quality.

There were a few things I didn't like though, like lights shining through walls, and some of the rooms/areas were just the same thing and very bland.

Played it, and it was epic.

I will give feedback later, but for now, I'm really left with one big question:
Edit: Nevermind Smile

RE: Amnesia: The Great Work - FULL RELEASE
I got wind of this mod in my Steam Library. Also, this is the first CS I've played. I don't know if this is common knowledge so please pardon my noobish'ness for mentioning it -if it is.... but I placed a pallet on the water in the sewer (the start of the 7th story). Then, moved a box into the water behind the pallet, then pulled on it while standing on the pallet. Instant boat! Smile

But you travel backwards if you do this...

I'm not finished with it yet, but I'm close. I'm taking my time and enjoying it / not rushing through. This probably isn't justified for spoilers, but just in case it's giving something away that shouldn't be revealed I'll play it safe....

Spoiler below!
In the area with the blue candles and the ritual room the Sanctum? , etc. with the 2 gates on each end of the hall that are initially locked (one of those doors leads to an area called the Cabal, but I haven't been there yet). Well, you know the room on the other end with the 20+ heavy boxes? I thought of getting over the locked gates using these boxes. If anyone wants to mess with it you'll need about 6 boxes on each side of the gates (just stacking them up on the outside will get you in trouble -meaning you'll need to reload). But, the doorways to the other areas will not let you pass anyway.

I figured with all those boxes that we were meant to use them to get inside the gates. But I guess not, he-he. Tongue

Or that might be something the author of this CS might want to... correct? Undecided


edit: "correct" as in fix if it's not supposed to be accessible. But I can see why it might be a fitting punishment for going somewhere you're not supposed to. Anyway... I did make it into the Cabal. But I'm still thinking I went in too early. I did finish the game (after retrying after the 'It's all over' deaths). I'll reload an older save point then mess around in there some more.

Would really like to try this but the moddb site won't let me download for some reason. Is there anywhere else I can download the mod from?

RE: Amnesia: The Great Work - FULL RELEASE
Okay, I've made into the Cabal, and got to a room...

Spoiler below!
In the room above I turned a valve after moving a torch underneath a tank. The green liquid dissolved a gate and I used a ladder to get down into where I'm now stuck. I did get a Cabal gate key... But there are 2 locked doors and I don't have any other keys to open either of those 2. I can stack boxes on top of the acid(?) and jump up to the ladder, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get off the ladder into the room above. If I try to jump out/off I just fall back down.

EDIT: Alrighty, I seen the puzzles video, makes sense now. Blush

If there's still a way to get out then let me know (not necessarily how to get out (or maybe I missed something like a key..?), unless it's just stacking all the boxes, because I'm trying that but not able to get them high enough, if that's the solution then I'll just skip this whole area). Or if I'm stuck then let me know that too. Thanks in advance.

..Can't get the Brute to appear, looks like it may be too late at this point. I do have/did have
Spoiler below!
the dagger and stabbed the heart instead of picking it up.


Edit2: I started over, did it a bit different this time. I followed the monster into the Cabal. After I came back I ran around the Sanctuary... I got killed by a cultist (I could never get the 2nd dude to come out). When I respawned I went back to the elevator. I was able to get on and into the next area and thus Exit.... BUT! I never went through the other gate to get (what I guess would be) the blue piece of the shard....?

I hope I won't need it, or that I'll be able to return to that area. I'll play it through to see if I get any game breaking dead-ends. Huh

Edit3: I guess I had all the shards I needed. I'm not sure where I picked up the one I needed since I skipped that one whole area.

Oh jesus christ fuck this mod haha. I stepped into the room and the door locked and I knew it was coming but for some reason I didn't realise there was a wardrobe in there untill he started banging on the door and I looked around in panic.

and go to 5:25 where you'll start to HEAR the problem, then a few seconds later you'll see it. At least, I assume that's a bug and not some intentional poltergeist activity. Wink

Oh God. Yeah, I'd really like to know what's going on in that clip. Never seen anything like that happen before. haha

Lol wow, I do NOT know how that happened, but I have to say you're the first one to see it. I thought it was really creepy though, so I don't really want to fix it. >Big Grin

Anyway, thank you all so much for your great comments! I haven't really been around that much lately, partially because I'm busy with a writing project and working a lot. I'm so glad you all like it, even with a few persisting bugs that I haven't been able to fix. I just got notified about the PC Gamer article and freaked out a little bit. :'D

The stage where you have to place the shards into the pedestals, then get the rods...

Spoiler below!
You may want to rescript it so that it doesn't let you pull the switch to turn the machine on (nearby where you put the rods in) until after the shards are placed in the other room. I forgot to put the shards in, put all 3 rods in, pulled the lever and rushed back to the room... When I slid the 3 position switch it told me the shards weren't in place. I put them in the pedestals... (I'm not sure exactly what happened next -can't remember since it was so hectic) but the gist of it is that I was blocked in that room with the shard pedestals by the 'Shadow' web thingies, the monster was also in that room. I kept on getting killed with no way back to the switch next to the rods. I'd respawn with the monster right behind me, and die yet again. D-:>


eta: Or maybe a notification (note) that suggests that "I should put the shards in before going forward." -maybe...?

Unless I could've crouched to get by the shadow web things.... Anyway, I didn't see any way to get back into the room to re-throw the switch.
