RE: Better Go Alone

Alright, I gave it a play

Spoiler below!
Honestly, this mod was really lacking. The rooms were very large but contained so little detail to them and were barren, which was very uninteresting to walk through. All I saw as far as variety was room, darker room, flooded room, tiny room with massive hole to fall in. I really suggest adding a little variety to your rooms, such as some scenery, adding more rooms, making the layout less linear and more open to exploration...something to grab attention and make them entertaining to go through. Atmosphere needs work. The dead silence combined with the lack of scenery makes all these rooms really bland and doesn't make them fun to go through. Maybe add some music to the maps, build up monster appearance more and focus less on jumpscares. One jumpscare in a map is fine, but having almost every scare be a jumpscare is not fun and you can predict almost all of them. I noticed a lot of your textures and placements were off, what with parts of the wall fazing through doors and big holes in the walls next to doors, so you should work on how you place walls, doors, objects, ect. The entire second area of the mod is useless, as all you do is get shoved through a door, pick up an illegible note and then move on to the next area. Lengthen out your areas and make them take longer to get through, add a puzzle or key items, some more rooms...as mentioned before, make your maps open for exploration, it helps in building atmosphere.

As a first mod, it's a decent starting point, but you do need to work on most of the foundations to making a map, such as texture, design, layout, atmosphere...the like. Just work on those and your maps will improve greatly.

I play Amnesia Custom Stories a couple times a week on Livestream
