My First Custom Story: Her Games [4th update]

[bobbo]

Ha, Karai living out her sadistic Jigsaw-Killer-phantasies on the poor player! But seriously I liked this idea very much.

Spoiler below!

This felt like very good beginning for a custom story because the notes had a good "tutorial" style (e.g. the "Okay, look at the ceiling then" one). Also, it's of course great that they come with a well done voice acting (although the human grunts in the end don't really fit to the then played grunt sound that comes with the games - but I guess that's hard to achieve).

Overall the map was a bit empty - but then again it's set up by "her" only to play her game with the player so I think it's allright.

The quests were very easy (that's also why I'd say this is the tutorial for a greater custom story): You pick up a new item, a monster spawns, you hide in the dark, and after a few seconds the monster is gone. This could be made a little harder maybe by having the monster search the exact location of the picked up item. Also, they should patrol longer I think. Or maybe the only place to hide in a situation could be a cabinet that is packed with stuff that the player has to remove quickly.

I think the story could be a great base for a lot of other trap like situations "she" puts you in. There could be a room on fire where the player has to save his live by using the bucket which has to be found and filled with water in a limited amount of time. And of course "she" must be breeding water "pets", too, the player has to deal with.

Going further in the story, the player could find notes of former victims - before eventually killing "her" to put all this to an end (yeah, I like happy endings ). But of course all of this would mean much much work that I doubt anyone would find enough spare time for.

Bottom line: Cool idea, it was fun to play this!

(Sadly, I didn't find the secret note yet. Will play again just for the cookie!)

Edit after a 2nd play-through (still without the secret message ;s):

Spoiler below!

On my first play, I didn't find the note that informs me about two monsters patrolling around the dungeon so I didn't wonder about anything. This time I found it but there are no monsters spawning. I have no level editing skills whatsoever so I can't tell what's the problem. A little nitpicking: In the room with the second lever, at the lower corner right to the smashed door there's a small flickering texture.
