RE: Snowed In (Custom Story DEMO RELEASED)

I'll join the praising choir. This is the best custom story I have ever played. The lighting, the detail and the thought put behind the creation of the environment is simply brilliant. To discover new areas is a pure pleasure in this map. I especially loved your transition from "house" to "slaughterhouse". Smooth and natural. I agree with previous speakers of this matter.

Downside:
Spoiler below!

The downside was the carpet riddle, found it too hard. I had to look for help in this thread to solve it.


Long story:
A re-tell of a my gameplay in "carpet room" (wish I had filmed it):
As the grunt patrolled in I first waited for him to vanish, which he obviously does not. I then sneaked behind the bookcase to pick up the key. As I grabbed for the key I accidentally touched the book, or something else which caused one of the books to "bug itself" (or scripted by you). The book flew against the wall of the hidden safe several times until it caused the key to drop down on the floor. I thought "if the monster didn't hear that then something is wrong". I waited. Luckily he did not. Picking up the key I thought "Let's see if I can throw a book to make him go over into the corner." I threw one of the two books.

Blam. It went into the bookcase before it hit the ground. Now the monster heard me. He came walking to the bookcase. I however, sneaked around to the short side (like a ninja) right at the moment he looked behind that bookcase. When he returned to the room I sneaked back, threw the second book and succeeded this time. He went over towards the maps and I started sneaking towards the door. Two meters from the door the full insanity effect hit me. I tried to move against the door, but I was moving at snail-like speed. "Damn I'm never going to make it, he's returning to patrol mode!" I could hear him grunting behind me. I'm done for. So I changed my mind and slowly crawled towards the hidden hole in the ground. He saw me there and started charging. Right on time I became sane again and was able to jump down the hole, sticking to the wall of the hole and avoiding fall damage.

I'm not easily scared, but the maximum unluck of that situation got me going. In all I didn't find the rest scary, except for that pile of books coming from a shelf. Nice effect!
