The Dreamstride

a custom story (in progress) by i3670

Released: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-26539.html

"A demon had invaded me, had taken possession of my body, mind, and soul. I jumped up and screamed, trying to free myself from him, but then sank down again and lay helpless on the sofa. The substance, with which I had wanted to experiment, had vanquished me. It was the demon that scornfully triumphed over my will." - A. Hofmann

The story of a man trying to save those he love is a well told story. This is such a story. This is the story of Armaund Armoise, a french ambassador currently residing in western Prussia. There he lives with his wife, Odette, dealing with political affairs and practicing his spare time occupations, botany and alchemy. His life takes a drastic turn when his wife is struck with a deadly disease and M. Armoise is struggling, both in mind and body, to find a cure.

Update 08-06-2013
After roughly six months without updates alot of you, perhaps all have lost interest and so did I. But I think I'm back. I've done some beta-testing to see what you guys might think of it. I'm done scripting all but 3 maps which shouldn't take too long, as long as I don't lose interest again which I hope won't happen. But it should be fine since I have the mapping done, the basis of the notes and flashbacks (only voice-acting left which shouldn't be a problem) and then it's just the matter of releasing it.

Great screenshots and an interesting story. This is definitely something worth keeping an eye on. :>

First picture looks fantastic, but all the screenshots quality is really low for me.

Looks quite interesting.

Or simply create a moddb page.

Or just use the image tag

First screenshot's pretty nice looking, but the other ones could use some touch ups (specifically on lighting).
