Abandoned Hope-The Game




These are some screen shots from the game me and my team are creating it is going pretty well doing 12 hour days lol. Plus working 2. Here is a concept of it



ITRODUCTION
The abandoned hope of losing a love one to such horrendous, supernatural events trying to figure out what happened. What is Reality and what is not is the question? This would put more fear into you then any normal thing. Your heart will drop as you search for answers and clues and discover the truth of what really happened to HER!


                                                       Background
This game concept has core elements on what a survival horror game should be like and what really scares you the players. This game is based off games such as Silent Hill 2 which has many mechanics of how to scare a player senseless. Has the feel of the original Resident Evil games, where you have to figure out how to get to another place to progress to the next part of the level, and find clues along the way. The Dead Space feeling of hearing ambient noises around you, then looking to see what it is and nothing is there. Then things jumping out at you and disappear into thin air. This game will have the core elements of a great horror game.



Description
You the player, play as a 28 year old man named John Hardway. He has recently lost his wife in a weird and unexpected accident that no one has yet to figure out. It starts out with John (You the player) at a campsite with some friends, trying to get over his wife and move on and have some fun. John and his friend end the night with some laughter and good memories of old times in high school. Then in the middle of the night John hears a eerie sound coming from the camp site. He comes out the tent to realize all his friend are not there. Then to see writing on a tree in blood reading “ELENA” which is John’s wife. You the player follow a foggy path into the forest, with eerie sounds and the feeling as if someone if watching you. At the end of the path you see an old abandoned church, with the doors wide open. You decide to walk into the church, as you do you see people in the pews just sitting there. Then you walk up to the pews and realize the people are all dead rotted corpses. At this point you decide if this is a dream or reality. Then as you are checking the pews you notice something on the cross you try to get closer, as you do you stand there in shock to see your best friend crucified to the cross. The doors slam behind you and gates slam up and surround the alter so you can’t get in. At this point you are wondering what is going on and what does this have to do with Elena. You turn around to go to the door and try to get out of here when it reads “No Way Out”. This is where you start to panic and start looking for a way out. You search each room which has many traps around it designed to kill, when you pass these traps, you have to hit a switch in which it unlocks one of the gates surrounding the alter and the way to your friend. When you release all the switches, you go up to the cross and realize that your friend is dead. Then you see an arrow pointing down to a latch behind the podium of the alter; you enter the basement at this point. In which you travel down this dark hallway. As you walk down it the lights start to flicker, then they shut off, you hear a screeching noise. The light flicker back and forth and you see a figure which disappears right away. You go to the door and open it, turn on the light and see a huge maze of traps going along this massive basement. You pass all these traps, then get to the graveyard in which you see this Hooded figure holding what appears to be a person, so you have to get around the rocks rolling down towards you to get the hooded figure. Which reveals to you the answers you been looking for?
