Living Nightmare

[LRH]

This is my first game, go easy on me

I know the graphics are ms-paint-arific but I think I can promise decent gameplay and music.
This is inspired mostly by a nightmare I had when I was seven, and what do ya know, the main character is seven. Also slightly inspired by the story 1408 and even partially on the movie 1408. (You'll see what I mean >:}  )
It's pretty much a horror story. It gets really twisted, it should be fun . He's a quick little preview:

Plot/Story : A young boy, James has been left home alone while his parents attend a get-together a few blocks away. James wakes up in the middle of the night after experiencing a nightmare and finds that his parents still aren't home. He feels a strange presence and is uncomfortable in his own house, but must make his way to his parents room to see what could be the problem, and the story unfolds.

Thank you.

In viewing your backgrounds ... it would appear you're saving them at 1280 x 1024 ... which is huge.

What resolution does the game run at?  Those screen-shots are obnoxiously over-sized!

I think the dark surroundings in the screenshots really set the mood.

I don't know the story 1408 (or the movie) but the introduction as told by you already makes me want to know what's in that room.
The text in screenshot 2 is very brooding, keep that up and I'll like the game

Thank you! I'm very encouraged
Sorry about the screenshots, that's my screen resolution, not the games, I was in a hurry and used my printscreen key.

The simple style of the graphics really help in giving that obsessive creep every thriller needs.
Interesting game.
