Critical Mode (Read Description!)

Overhaul mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, switches up aspects of the game, adds some new features and reimplements unused content
This is an updated version of the mod that I made and published to ModDB many years ago

Key Features
- Health and Sanity affect the player more
- Reimplemented Unused Content
- Some small switch-ups to puzzle solutions
- Emphasis on manual Sanity management
- Other Smaller Changes

-Health and Sanity-
Now, these systems affect your ability to move. Health affects walking and jumping, Sanity affects sprinting

-Reimplemented Unused Content-
Large Oil Potions, Sanity Potions, Thalers and the Pickaxe are reimplemented
(The pickaxe is more of a novelty so don't expect to be smacking the Grunt and Brute!)

For Thalers, they can be used as originally intended, to open locked chests. Oil Barrels are not locked behind Thalers though

Herbert's Diary is restored, three pages can be found

-Puzzle Solution Changes-
Some small changes are made to puzzle solutions to make the experience feel a little different without causing frustration

-Sanity Management-
Most Sanity bonuses from progression are removed, instead you must manually manage your Sanity with Sanity Potions

-Other Changes-
Other changes are present like the Lantern being missable and no longer in its usual location

-Hard Mode-
You can play the mod on Hard Mode aswell, though I recommend completing it on Normal Mode first

-KNOWN ISSUES-

- The game has a chance to crash when entering the level "Cistern Entrance" (The level after Prison North)
To work around this, I suggest making a save before breaking the lock. I tried to fix this but wasn't able to.

- The collapsed environment puzzle in the Laboratory does not trigger. I don't know what causes this.

If you manage to find the cause of these issues, do let me know
