Hey guys I'm kinda having as problem here, so i am making this map which is a tool storage and I made 3 kinds of tool storages and I want you guys to choose which one you would love to see since I can't decide.

1. It's a dirt mine maze with lots of shelves and rooms which has lots of tools and sheds inside, includes an oil room. also with a dog patrolling around.

2. A wooden mansion tool storage which is one wooden room with tables and shelves with 3 doors, one door is locked and you need to get a key to unlock it and inside will be a crowbar and stuff.

3. it's a watery tool storage with lots of water and gas coming out of pipes, lots of shelves and tons of rooms including the oil room again.

if you guys don't like 3 of them then pls give me some ideas cause I want to make a safe feeling atmosphere in a tools storage room just like in penumbra, so pls help me on this. thanks Smile

by the way you find the level door to the tool storage in the mansion so yeah, I want it to be realistic and make sense.
Perhaps post some pictures if you have? That would make it easier to decide.
I haven't done them yet, they're just sketches on a paper
Number 1 sounds interesting, but number 2 sounds the most "safe" to me. But perhaps it is a bit general. If you try to make something unique, you can still have the player feel safe by working with the atmosphere. Have it well lit and a calm ambience and that will probably make any situation more relaxed.
Thanks but I might do something similar to the original amnesia study room where you go in this room after you jumped from the window, you know? where you find the first rod on the table?
I like the third one the best. Something about water in a shed or basement makes me feel uneasy. Number 2 would be a more realistic one though. at least to me. Unless the mansion had some flooding problems or something.
Here's a better way to end this.

Get your imagination ready, So you guys have to tell me what is the best, creepiest, best atmosphere way you would like to see a tool storage/room?
