that's great :)

I played part I and already enjoyed it
one question though:
Why did Murray have to send his friend into the elevator, even though he knew he would die there?

Thanks for the feedback, hope you stick around for the rest of the series!  :)

And in answer to the question...
Murray locked Lloyd to hide him from the reaper, he realised Lloyd was marked for death so he shielded him off from any contact with the reaper. Murray was also influenced to put him in the lift because of the future vision he saw of him in the mirror (vision, not ghost). If that doesn't answer your question, you may or may not get the answer you're looking in in Episode 2.  ;)

Hope you all enjoy the rest of the series, guys!

Whoo! It's been a while! Hey everybody!
If you still remember this game, I'm just letting you guys know that it's not dead! However, production was moving slowly a while back. I spent the majority of Summer 2010 working on the game...then Uni began and production stopped. THEN I continued production throughout Summer 2011...then Uni began production stopped. Now, it's started again! And it's closer to being finished than ever before!

Don't get excited yet, it's still quite a few months away, but just know that it's still coming! However, there have been a couple of changes to the game since the last time I posted here:

-The game is no longer episodic, it's a complete full-length adventure game experience!
-An all new Concept Art Gallery reveals the origins of the characters and locations.
-Developer Commentary can be triggered at any time.
-All new animated intro sequence.
-General refinements to the game's atmosphere (i.e. Lip sync, extra animations, etc.)
-And...full voice acting!

That's right! Not only will the first episode (which to be honest, can now be classified as the demo) be given this deluxe treatment, but you'll also be getting the entire game all at once! However, I will need some assistance with the voice acting soon, given that I can't voice every character by myself! Especially when the main character currently has 4,000 lines of dialogue and counting!
Anybody care to help with voice acting? If so, check out this page, see if any of these characters suit you and drop me an email!

So...yeah! About time we saw a new screenshot, eh?


Soon, I'll hopefully have a trailer put together too! Anybody know of a good free screen capture software?

I'll keep you guys updated! Talk to you later!

Hello loyal fans! I've made a trailer for the game! :D
Particularly revealing many of the voice actors that I was able to cast! Hope you all enjoy watching it! :)

The project is going great, by the way! Not too long, and I'll be able to play through the whole thing start to finish! Then it's just filling in the blanks from there! :D Really excited about having this done!

Talk later!

Great to hear the reminder of the story is still coming. The original release was very interesting.
