RE: First "Real" Custom Story, Need some testers! [Update 0.3]

Alright, I think I "completed" it. Here's my review:
Warning for future players that read this; this does contain spoilers.
Spoiler below!

Okay, so the beginning is pretty good. But when I got the bottle with the key in it, I tried to throw it and it fell to the ground. The key was gone... However, I feel like the monster in the beginning came too early; that may be just my personal opinion though. Next; the corridor. I think its a bit too claustrophobic. Make it a little longer and add paintings or windows, or place boxes to make it seem more "alive". I opened the door and theres a small room with a random pit in it. You gotta work on that Smile Anyways, I have no complains about the water part, except WHY, WHY a flying naked guy. It wasn't scary and it ruined it a bit for me. Okay, now that's over, onto the next part, the "morgue"-like part. I think this room is the best one out of all, especially when the grunt bashed the second door open in the bloodred-colored water room, where I was hiding and crying in the corner. However, the brute right after that was unnecessary. And I couldn't get into the other room in this part, I didn't have the key (see beginning). And when I Hammer-and-chipped the lock, the door didn't lead to a new .map file. So that's the end I guess.

TL;DR bit too many monsters, this makes it feel too rushed. Make the rooms bigger and add more detail and non-purpose rooms (rooms just for detail). Overall not bad. Lack of story. Overlapping textures. I loved the flashbacks. Even though there were from the original games. And theres no .lang file it seems? But I'd say keep working on it! This has lots of potential!


My rating: 6.5/10.
