RE: The Dark Haunting

Okay, well I am near the end, and I did find some things you need to work on:

Spoiler below!
First of all, I can not use my lantern on the first few map areas. I can use it on the third one, but not the first two. The lantern was probably my biggest issue! Also, in the dining room scene, I would move the dead bodies closer to the chairs and more on the floor than on the table (this is just a small thing, because I want to make it more credible). And the fog in some areas goes through the walls, and I was wondering if you could touch that up. And the story could use a little bit more work, for I am a little confused (explain it a little better through the notes maybe?).
Oh, and I also got the monster stuck for a sec in the second map area, then unstuck it and then died (but don't worry about this, I just wanted to share...).Big Grin
And lastly, some of the scares are not that scary (like the breaking bottles, maybe you could amplify the sound a bit more so that it is more startling). Some of these include the two monster poofers when you reach the dining hall, (maybe you could delay their spawn so that they spawn right in front of you) and the closet opening with the boxes (maybe you should not have a "scare" so that they don't expect one later).
And on the third map area (with the letter of you are almost there...) in the room where the monster comes out of the closet ( Big Grin ), is he supposed to poof right away? Because I was expecting him to poof and he never poofed... So I died...
And now all of the positives!
The rocks flying through the air made my heart skip a beat, and the teleporting naked freaked me out! And the note that said that something isn't quite right made me shiver and it gave me goosebumps as I progressed. I didn't notice too many bugs in the game, so it didn't distract me from the game at all. There was a nice lighting, nice environment, and I actually enjoyed playing it.
So, overall, I give it a 6/10! I will give it a lot higher rating if you improve on the custom story on the areas I mentioned (to a 9/10 or even a 10/10).

Oh, and btw, I am stuck in the third map (with the you are almost there letter), in the second room in the hallway, where the bro's head appeared on the table (this scare actually delayed for me, which actually made it a bit scarier, because I didn't expect it Tongue ). I can't find the key to the next room...

And that is my review of it! Great job, especially because it is your first map! I could never do something like this...

I will review all of your custom stories (when I find time!)!
