I'm not sure if you understand this or not, but a full on Cthulhu monster would take weeks to model, and probably even more to properly animate it. On top of that, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the normal walls in Amnesia can't just "fall apart on their own", they're static objects, meaning they can't move. If you wanted to do that you'd have to assemble walls with the individual brick models by hand, and even when that's done there's nothing stopping the player from just tipping over the walls by themselves. On top of that, I don't even KNOW how you could do the floor/ceiling, the best way I could think of would be again assembling them out of individual bricks/rocks, but in that case you'd have to set all them to static and script certain ones to turn dynamic when a tentacle breaks through it, which would be insanity. Even with that said, you'd probably be able to see holes in the walls and ceiling and it probably wouldn't come out looking very good.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm being a dick, but I'm just being honest. You seem to be having a lot of ideas lately, but I don't think you understand how insanely impossible all of them are, and then you run off to people on here and try to get them to do it for you (asking someone to make an entire Chtulhu model when they don't even know how experienced of a modder you are). Start off small, make a normal custom story first, learn how to map, script, and model, because as it is now I'm sorry but you really don't seem to be experienced enough to be trying most of these ideas.
I know that the Amnesia walls are static, that's why I'd use large 'special' bricks. The bricks would be stacked up for sure, but be too heavy and large for the player to push down. As for the ceiling/floor I have thoughts on that too: One layer per room would be widder than the rest and many movable boards would be on them. Once boards are in place then the bricks could be placed, thus I have both a floor and the ceiling for the next room below.

I have 'test areas' with which I can try things out, so level making isn't a problem. The problem is I want my story to 'make a good first impression' and to 'stand out' from the rest. Some first stories look very well done and/or scripted. Now while I probably couldn't script a whole lot yet, I wanted something not seen before in an Amnesia Custom Story.

I have lots of story ideas not mentioned in the forum, some I could do and others I am working on. However, when an idea comes in that might outshine it I explore it to see if it's possible. Right now I'm working on a 'simpler' story. Short but has stuff not seen in other stories, or at least not been done like this before.

When I thought of an 'all movable' castle and furniture I couldn't resist the idea and wanted to explore it.
