Castle Wackersberg

Description
Niklas Leon is on his way to marry his fiancée Helene, the daughter of a wealthy Bavarian count, Gottfried von Wackersberg. But he is about to discover that true darkness lies within the human heart.

STORY
You are the son of a wealthy industrialist from Munich, with aristocratic roots. Some time ago, you became engaged to Helene, the daughter of Bavarian Count Gottfried, the lord of a remote castle named Wackersberg. You first met Helene at a ball, hosted by Elector Maximilian Joseph at Nymphenburg Palace. Your relationship has blossomed, and the two of you decided to marry.

The wedding will take place at Wackersberg, where you are now traveling. Helene requested that it be a modest affair. Your father, due to medical reasons, was unable to accompany you, so you are making the journey alone.

As you look out the window of your carriage at the dark forest surrounding you, an unsettling feeling stirs within you—something is not right. May God be with you.

Take your time to explore the environment carefully, for every map holds one secret, a note, and some useful items. The secret in the entrance hall will not be accessible during your first visit. It will become available later, after you repair the elevator.

You are not required to read the secret notes, but they may provide additional insights into the world in which this story unfolds.

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:
