Don't put huge amount of [SANITY POTION], [LAUDANUM], and [OIL] in a map. It will look weird. Make the [SANITY POTION] scarce.
Use logic. One does not simply put a statue in a table! Put it in a cabinet or something.
the ones in the brackets ( the []) are items.

I don't know what happened last night, I think I met for the statue to act like it's reading the bible...

The letter on the desk also states that the castle is on lock down and the hotel's employees came around and gave everyone necessary equipment for the evacuation process, in case you encountered a decoy. If it's still odd I will definitely remove it, since this is my first custom story I have no skill in mapping, and I don't like doing it .
Thank you!

Everyone is bad when they start off. You're never going to get better at mapping if you don't make maps.

Like Thomas said on a blog post, other so-called horror games have the main character as a secret agent or something. Also, add a backstory. What is the player's name? What is the thing he must take care of? Why did the hotel made an lockdown? Story Matters. Well, that is all i have to say about this CS.

I can script the whole story as well.

Here's what the story is about:

You are a detective by the name of Blane, working to investigate the unknown events at Brennenburg Castle from the 1800s. Night has come after the first day of investigation, so you decide to stay at a hotel which is a replica of a castle, and something strange occurs and the hotel employees run to alert everyone, you find many strange happenings while leaving the hotel, are these the events that happened at Brennenburg? You must escape the hotel, but first, take care of one thing.

The story takes place in a castle hotel, if anyone is willing to help, I will do all the scripting and give you much recognition! PM me if you're interested.

I'll also post what I've made so far below.

For sounds, add some cars driving, someone talking, elevator going up/down.
For scares, have a guy to walk mysteriously, or have a woman scream, then someone gets out of that room, or just some guy walking to the elevator.
FYI, there is an elevator.

I think on the second floor I'll have a woman scream and a monster walk out and into the Mess Hall.

I forgot to add ambiance

On the second floor I have 1 scare that you can pick out as soon as you enter it, I might spice it up a tad.

Its a good start, though
