Hi,
thank you for the feedback.

The lack of sanity potions comes from the fact that the main Amnesia story didn't have them as well and the player should not look at the monsters but rather try to gain sanity through progress.

Should someone loose a lot of sanity, parts of the mod behaves in a different way - spiders on the wall, more disturbing scenes.

When it comes to the final battle, Niklas should be mentally broken enough to warrant having less than 100% sanity and looking at the final boss will completely break him, so focusing on getting the objective items is the safe way to go.

Thanks for playing, it's always great to read the insight from someone who experienced it in a different way than me, Swankest and Sabatu imagined during the development.

overall i did enjoy this but due to those complaints i bring what i was hoping to be a 9.8 to a 7.5
but you definitely know what you are doing when it comes to creating mods
if you have any other mods that are on mod db feel free to port them to steam workshop
would love to give them a try

also this is actually a really good and terrifying custom story
however i have some very big criticisms that brought my high rating for this down
namely for the final boss
1: the dude tends to camp a lot using his teleports which make it very difficult to climb the ladders and search for the levers
2: no sanity potions
this wasn't a issue at first
however when getting to the boss battle the game categorizes him as a monster and since we constantly have to stare at him and not to mention the game itself not restoring to full sanity it makes it even harder
3: this is my biggest one
barely any laudanum
now i know you get a lot by exploring and finding the hidden notes and Easter eggs
however first times players like myself won't find all of them so at the end i only had like two
having most of the health be accessible through hidden notes is honestly not a good design choice

it seems like it always happened but i never experienced it until i reloaded a previous save cause i glitched my game
i was able to fix it by closing the game itself and going back in

HI murphymatthew136,
I'll try to reproduce it. Did it happen to you on a specific map or does it happen randomly?
murphymatthew136 3 Jul @ 10:16pm 
don't know if you still respond to comments
but there's a bug where if you reload a previous save all notes and mementos and interactions become bugged
meaning i can't read notes
can't look at mementos for help
and interactions can;t be looked at
would like a fix for this please

Yep, some parts are really annoying, for example I really hate the prison :steamthumbsup:

Finished the game, it was rather enjoyable. Made for a good evening streaming. But I wish there were multiple endings, Good Bad and Secret endings. But that's just me.

Good news, did some fine tuning and tailoring and got it running on the small PC so I didn't have to start the giant computer up!
zira769 28 Aug, 2023 @ 4:56pm 
I could fire up the super computer. Although it uses a ton of power and resources to run it might be worth a shot.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't see anything suspicious there. Maybe the GPU could be the reason, I've seen crashes caused by Intel iGPUs in the past and HD 2000 may not have enough resources. This mod kinda pushes the engine, the maps are really big and some custom models have so many polygons that it's way beyond the standard.
Is there any chance you could give it a try on another GPU?

That's strange, I've never experienced this error, not even during the development. Could you please upload the "hpl.log" file (probably located in Documents/Amnesia...) somewhere? That should contain some interesting information about the crash.
zira769 27 Aug, 2023 @ 10:04am 
Yes, it will stop loading and give me a runtime error saying that it was told to terminate the application in an unusual way. I've got CC++, DSX11 and I'm still hitting that runtime crash often.

zira769: Hi, what do you mean by runtime errors? Does the game crash or something?
zira769 27 Aug, 2023 @ 7:14am 
Can you possibly try to patch the runtime errors please? I've never made it past the storage with the reapers floating around due to the errors/glitch. When I try going through doors to the entrance hall is when they normally happen. Thanks much if you can try for me! I'd love to play it!

For any others that can't find the water for the engine, you need to take it out of the the water garden on the second floor of the entrance hall.

Must have been a different mod, there are no flying naked guys in CW.
Follizamirefox 14 Jun, 2023 @ 10:19pm
