Anokhron is a mystery/thrilling adventure set in the 19th century. Luc Beaumont escapes some stranger in the narrow streets of Paris - through an open window into a house he doesn't know. Not until the entrance behind him closes all of a sudden he notices that he probably had better not entered this building.
The house which first seems to be abandoned appears to have still an inhabitant - or is it the stranger who tricked Luc into this trap? Luc will soon find out that he didn't get caught just by chance...

Additional stuff available:

• Main Theme (ogg) - is likely to play at the end credits/outro or something (warning: pretty short)
• Website is going to be made when the project is far enough

PS: As I am not a native English speaker, hints on wrongly written things would be nice
PPS: This is more or less a remake of an old game. I decided to create a new thread as this game is fairly different from the old one except the rough concept of being enclosed in a house and the name

General Information
A game like the old adventure games: low resolution and no action sequences.
Progress: Not much is done. You could speak of about 1 %
Language: I'll try to make the game in English although my English could be better. Maybe I'll add a German translation too.
AGS version: 2.72

I'm not working alone
The man with the nice nickname "IceLink" composes the music for the game 
"RotW" creates the homepage for the game.

Story
William Black is visiting his parents on the old mansion, where they live. After one night, the estate is snowed in, they are all caught on it; William, his parents James and Olivia Black, the butler and the cook Sarah.
The phone doesnt work, and mobile phones didn't arrive at this place far away from the rest of the world; the whole village, where the mansion belongs to, is in a dead spot.
And the Blacks aren't alone in the house with their employees... there's something other... forgotten and hidden in the downs of the mansion.

But when James Black was found dead, some memories came back...

Target
Stay alive and try to find out what's crawling through the house at night!

The cursor is still the standard AGS cursor. That won't be the case in the finished game.
You can see William here, the player character

Ingame: Chamber of William
I implemented the game cursors here.


Why the name "Anokhron"?
This is something you'll find out in the game!

Note
I'm from Germany, and my English is not as good as I'd like it. Tell me if there are any mistakes.

I will need YOUR help
If the developement process is far enough, I need native English speakers to correct my mistakes in the game. It should be someone who speaks British English.
And of course I'll need some beta testers...
But I'll ask you again when it's time for that.
Update: I still have one beta tester, who will correct my English too. It may be that I won't ask for yet another one.
Update: Homepage is finished. You can see there some additional screenshots!
Update: Now, the screenshots/backgrounds of the homepage are here available too. And I added a new one and changed some head lines.
