A Curious Silence (and the screams it hides) - A First Person Horror Adventure

Wow, been a while since I posted here, hasn't it? Anyway, I originally intended this to be a smaller, more experimental project, but it kinda got out of control and I'm releasing it FAR later than I originally planned. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.

Premise
An abandoned factory has been showing signs of life recently. Your team is sent in to investigate the situation, but all of you will soon discover secrets that humanity was never meant to find out…

Further details regarding story and characters can be found in the included instruction manual.

Features
* first person viewpoint
* multiple endings
* original soundtrack

While this game is not a direct sequel to my previous project, Cauchemarionto, and a knowledge of that game's backstory is not needed in order to fully enjoy A Curious Silence, you might want to consider both games together.

UPDATE: If the soundtrack was to your liking, now it's available on Soundclound. Also feel free to modify and use any of the tracks in any way you may like:

[A CURIOUS SILENCE]

A CURIOUS SILENCE

CONCEPT:
ACS is a first-person horror adventure game. It follows the story of Carol Chenk, a new recruit of The Agency's Strike Force.
After a failed assault on a cultist hideout, she's now stuck inside, with her squad dead and no way to defend herself.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS:
This is a VERY early demo, barely a quarter of the full game. The sound effects and music are placeholders and a few graphic elements are unfinished, but it is completable and mostly bug-free. I posted it in such an early state so that I can hear your opinions and know what to improve.
I will try to update the thread as much as I can.

Sorry for posting only one screenshot, but the demo is only four rooms long and I didn't want to spoil too much. I will add another if necessary. I deeply apologize.

I don't know whether or not to post this on this forum or the Beginner's one, so I'll move it if necessary. Here's the problem: I was working on my game, but when I wanted to test it, it would show the window that says it's opening, and then it locks up and the game doesn't start (it appears in Task Manager, though). I got it to work once , but it didn't work on subsequent tries . Oddly enough, my previous game, which previously worked, also does the same thing, but a previous project I currently put on hold doesn't, and still works properly. I also tried reinstalling AGS, complete with deleting the registries, (still didn't work), as well as try to run the game on a different computer, where it did work. I don't know if it's a problem with the computer (I tried running it with a different account, same result), or a problem with the code.
Does anyone know what the problem might be ? I am running Windows 7.

Greetings, AGS Community ! I am sorry if this post is a bit messy, it is my first one. Anyway, this is the first serious game I have made. It is a little rough around the edges (I used a bit of the default stuff), and it was more of an attempt to see if I can make an adventure game, and I hope it paves the way for better projects. Any criticism is more than welcome, and hopefully it will be enjoyable . Now, on to the game.

Cauchemarionto

You awaken in a odd-looking room. You have no idea who, or what you are, and are stuck with only two things in mind: in mind: your weird shape ( an odd mixture between a blue robe and two coloured sleeves, with one eye on your stomach), and the feeling that something bad has happened, yet you don't know what.
This is how your quest begins.

UPDATE: I have read about the bugs you encountered. Thank you very much. I've updated the game: fixed item bugs, tweaked a couple of things, added a few pieces of extra-dialogue and, finally, I have added a post-credits scene. Both links are updated with the new version.
