Title: Dreams from Beyond - a HPL based game
Post by: Bijulinus on Tue 18/09/2007 00:15:13
Strange words are echoing in your dream: "It's not dead what can eternal lie..."

...then you just wake up. A dark, empty room. The rusty bed, the ancient books, the strange drawings... and what about that strange lock on the door? A door that cannot be opened?
What are those symbols? And why is so freezing inside? Who is this "Cthulhu" and...
"...who am I? What I am doing here?"  What's happening all around you?


"Dreams from Beyond", a new scary game based on the novels from Howard Phillips Lovecraft!

==FEATURES==
A first person game in 3D rendered scenarios will allow you to study forbidden books, travel through dreams and make horrible rituals to evoke and destroy cosmic horrors. Use the built-in "enchantment system" to write magic formulas and draw magic signs to open gates and take beasts far from you!
Three different endings with different stories!

==PROGRESS==
- Graphics 15%
- Puzzles 10%
- Scripting 15%
- Music/sound 40%

==SCREENSHOTS==

The beta version of the room where you woke up in.

Dreams will take you far far away... cyclopic mountains!

Sounds promising so far, I'm looking forward to playing it! :)
A real horror adventure based on HPL books is one of the things that I would want to take my hands on.

Though; I know this is not the Critique's Lounge, but I think the second in-game screen looks too empty. The players would want to see and investigate an ambience more complex than a view of mountains. Maybe you can add a pathway that player could click on?

@Gord10: yes, you will have "something" to click, but only dreaming further you will have conscience of the path you'll have to take.

@Darth Mandarb. Yes, now moving to ImageShack.
