RE: To Give Is To Force

I now completed the story and I gotta say that was one of the best ones I've played. It was a bit hard, but once I began to look for the needed items more carefully, I found em' all.

You also did a good job using the custom sounds.

Spoiler below!
I found it to be very unique and I thought the pretense was something that has never been done before. The use of custom sounds as has been stated was a definite welcome, as people seem to always under appreciate new audio-centered goodies that catch them off-guard.

The monster spawning definitely surprised me at points and I do believe a mild heart-attack was had - the ending was a tad confusing but I found it to be a fair one.

All in all I hope you continue making custom stories! I look forward to see what else you can do. :]

Thank you very much! I was hoping you'd get around to playing it. I definitely will continue to make games, but I might not make another Custom Story until HPL3's released. I did start brainstorming some possibilities for another one though. So it's only a matter of time until the next one.

....actually the whole story....

Although it's not very uncommon for me to not get the story of games, especially when it's kept vague on purpose or have open endings where you can imagine your own ending.


btw:
Spoiler below!

The room with the long spiral staircase and the hanging chandeliers was jawbreakingly beautiful to see



-edit-
btw, no I rewatched Cry's playtrough.... where do you use the key for btw?

I'm so glad and reassured to hear that you liked the look of that map. I was scared it wouldn't look as cool as the others since there's very limited lighting, but I wanted a very sad, solemn tone for when you reach the top. The chandeliers required some tweaking too, since the original code for them would make the game crash, so their random movement was tricky to do (for me anyways).

As for the key, yeah when I watch playthroughs I can see how it's kind of a red herring. It's for a little extra scare you can get if you pick it up the first time you enter the Tunnelling Honesty room.
Spoiler below!
You then notice the first door you see is covered in rust, and a monster is right behind it, ready to run at you. The player is meant to either quickly shut the door and lock it, or after the monster comes into the room, run past it and lock the door with it inside. The protagonist then passes out and wakes up in front of the spiral staircase.

Smile I'm glad you liked it. Thank you.
On a semi-random note: One friend of mine, whom I forced into playing it was actually scared when they first saw the ending, which was unintended, but I'm still happy about that.

RE: To Give Is To Force

Voting for best mods of the year is happening. Please vote for this Custom Story. It'd be fantastic if it reached the top 100. Also, I want to design games for a living so please vote.
