IotD2 Development Article #3 - April 2024
Hi everyone,
Recently I've gotten an itch. My unfinished project called Illusions of the Dead 2. The last update has been a couple of years ago. But the project was never cancelled. It's still alive!
- New Inspiration
Three months ago, with new idea's and inspiration I started working on the project again. Most of this inspriration came from AI (artificial intelligence). Illusions of the Dead 2 is fully voice acted. But my old voice from 5 years ago just doesn't sound as good as AI voice acting. Which is one of the important changes I've made in the past few months. Don't worry, the voices sound super natural and are a great fit for the project ;)
- A total of 4 chapters
The project will contain 4 chapters in total:
- A return to the Castle of Barnard (from Illusions of the Dead 1)
- An abandoned mines chapter
- A church with tomb chapter
These first 3 chapters can be selected from a custom chapter select screen and can be completed in any order. All chapters must be completed in order to play the final chapter:
- The Second Dimension
- New images and updated teaser trailer
I've added new images for you to enjoy, and I've also updated the teaser trailer that includes one of the new (AI generated) voices. Check it out! --- Images --- Videos
- Release forecast
The project is not finished yet. Right now I'm averaging 6-8 hours a week on developing the project. I'm super hyped to finish to project and I'm aiming towards Q4 2024.
Please let me know what you think!

Oh yes!! YES!!!! It's so good to have all these wonderful news about the sequel and that it hasn't been cancelled and you're still working hard on it ;u;!!
My gosh the new images and the teaser. Underwater and snowy places!! And the voice sounds certainly natural considering it's AI-generated! Really looking forward to it, IOTD1 is still one of my fav mods ever!!
Oh, also I hope IOTD2 has custom music, it's one of the things I would have loved to hear in IOTD1 since it mostly had music from the main Amnesia game!
Yes! Custom music will be a big part of the custom story! Also music from AMFP will be included.
I'm so glad you like it!
Stay tuned.
