It was pretty good until I died from the monster after I unlocked the door with the key in the room where the player says something about hallucinations and how all the lights turn on and stuff.

As far as I got, 9.5/10

You gave that good sense of feeling alone or trapped at first with puzzles involved. I kind of liked it how when they player dies, it ends the game. :p

First ever custom story I've played that used the flashback effect, amazing job, I loved it! Also, having to light the furnace in the workshop in order to 'think clearly' (not sure if that was purely for aesthetic purposes or if it actually had an impact such as making the note detailing the key in the shirt pocket appear, but regardless that was a very nice touch).

Also, the light coming through the door to the House, totally won me over, very, -very- creative! I look forward to playing this when the full version comes out.

Edit: Aha, I managed to stay hidden from the Brute that time, but died in the Main Hall D:

Again, keep up the great work!

Try unlocking the door without turning on the fire first.
