It is one of our main inspirations, so you are spot on!

Thanks a lot mate! The demo will be out any day now, so keep your eyes peeled!

To be honest it looks very blocky and empty, be sure to fill it up with stuff like airducts and such to make it look less empty and therefore less boring. The only thing I give you credit for is for using the Unreal Engine instead of Unity as Unity horror games piss me off lately as most are made with major prefabs and such and published as their own work (and being terrible).

Thank you for your creative critique! the reason why it looks so blocky and empty, is because of the story behind the game in the first place. In the teaser trailer, he mentions an abandoned factory, but just like SCP-087 the staircase is the games focus. The protagonist goes to investigate and finds down the staircase a bombshelter. That's the part you see in the trailer.

Well, without spoiling too much of it, you are more than welcome to check out our facebook page for at least some more screenshots taken from the game. The teaser is after all just a teaser and wont tell you much. Anywho, thanks for this great comment! This is what makes us developers want to work even harder!

Well, for what i've seen on the trailer, it really reminds me of scp-087, to be honest.
If you don't mind me suggesting, why don't you put some notes in the game? Have you ever thought about making a solid story for it? It might be very interesting, just saying.

There will be plenty of notes for people to interact with to get a more solid understanding of the story itself ;P But this is just a teaser trailer for a pre-alpha that we are gonna let people test ( for free of course ). We got a story already, but it is just like you're saying. The trailer is not showing much of it! It is suppose to bring some mystery to it, make the viewer think for themselves a little bit.

Thanks for your criticism!

We are right at this moment trying to make the .exe to work properly. Just hold on to your hat! We'll let you know when the demo is out!

I am wondering if you make use of the enviroment you create within the game as you can easily build up the suspense by adding random events which are actually nothing.

For example :

- Falling objects out of a cabinet
- Placing small metal objects on the ground (cans) which the player kicks and make a loud noise
- Random steam out of pipes
- Lights which pop
- Random ambient noises etc.

Suggesting this due to the fact the current generation of (horror) indie games quite suck to be honest by being too straight forward and only relying on 'in your face' scares whilst the ambience can keep the tension longer than a cheaply created scare.

I think you bring up really good examples of how to make a great atmosphere. And I hope it will cheer you up when I say that we've on the exact same wavelength! Using the environment to do simple (and sometimes questionable) acts against the player is something that we're using in the game. We're trying to create an atmosphere which will lift the players creativity, to create a monster that doesn't exist. No weapons is another example that we're going for to make the player defenseless.

I just hope that this pre-alpha demo will be enough for people to notice it. We want to create new mechanics ( of which doesn't exist in the game yet due to lack of time ) to bring a new experience for people who loves solving puzzles in a tough atmosphere. Again, I thank you for the feedback! I think you'll be pleased.
