Hell Awakening Prologue: The Dorm

[Kreekakon]

Creator: Kreekakon
Release Date: 2012/7/7

Story:
You are a Taiwanese university student named Hao-Che "Howard" Shie who goes to the Hsiung-Ming University. On what seems like a typical morning, Howard is alone in his dorm room sleeping because of all his roommates, he is the only one without morning classes. Suddenly, an emergency evacuation of dorm broadcast rings out for some reason, waking Howard up suddenly. In his frantic attempts to get off the top bunk of his bed, he falls to the floor, and is knocked unconscious.

Hours later, he wakes up, and finds that the dorm building is now completely deserted since the evacuation (During which he was left behind in the panic), and enveloped by a strange unnatural darkness...

About:
This is the first custom story I made, and the first intended of the series. It's not a very long custom story, and will take 10 to 20 minutes to beat it average. Hope you like it!

NOTE: This mod will require the Justine update.

Features:

• Voice-acting in Chinese with English subtitles.
• Main setting will be the dorm building. Date is modern day taking place in 2011.
• Has a healthy(?) mix of different types of scares.
• Non-linear hub style gameplay
• Decisions taken throughout will affect will affect game dialogue, some slight, and some more noticeable. Play multiple times to experience it all!
• I believe that too difficult, vague puzzles(Or simply level progression) =/= good puzzles. I have taken extensive measures to ensure the player does not get stuck too easily. If you do, read your mementos, or look at your items. The answer will always be clear.

Awesome map, just completed it, really great mapdesign. I also like that it's chinese something unique, I didn't experience any bugs/glitches . And that it's your first map, really, REALLY great job.

- I would really like to see a Chapter 2. 9/10 here.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Yeah, might consider doing an English version later if I feel like it =)

I feel kinda bad because you're not getting much attention, or so atleast it seems.

Just cause of that i'm going to play this and leave my feedback! ^^

Allright, i've played it and it's time for some constructive critism


The first thing i noticed was that there was barely any oil, and i never found any tinderboxes. That is bad since it made my character go "insane" and i could barely play.

The second thing was the closets in the rooms, you've resized them so much that their texture turned out bad.

Third thing was that i could never find the second crowbar in the darkness.

I was excited about this CS, but I was kinda dissapointed when i saw the screens. All the old furniture wasn't exactly what I had in mind, potraying the scene in my head.
Still, i'm very curious what you will make of it!

Well, as I'm getting started with modding, super duper amounts of custom models aren't my main focus right now. I do have a few custom textures in there if that'll cheer you up :3

Also, I'm pretty confident that level design is something quite unique. Not super innovative, but still unique.

Well, about the oil, did you look for any? I've hidden quite alot of cans of oil all over the place. If you find them all, and don't get really stuck you should have a good amount of oil left over.

Yeah, I know that about the closets, but I couldn't really find a fix for that unfortunately.

Lastly, about the crowbar:

Spoiler below!

Did you mean the crowbar in the basement, or the TV room?

EDIT/UPDATE: Finally got the file to upload to Moddb. Currently awaiting authorization.

Yes, there's one crowbar in the TV room, and one in the basement.

Damn, I thought I had made it perfectly clear in the mementos D:
