You wake up at your desk, sleeping on a newspaper. Darkness surrounds you except for a beam of moonlight falling onto the open page of the paper. You remember nothing, not where you are, not who you are, not what you were doing before. you read the headline of the paper in front of you. "More Missing Men, Strange sightings increase" You read on and discover that you are in a small town where many strange things have been happening the past few weeks. People have been disappearing seemingly into thin air and strange events have been taking place at random. The whole town is in the grip of sheer terror and the people are very suspicious of one another. Being a normal human being and not a mindless horror movie character you see no reason to stick around. You decide to leave but for some reason you can't get out of your room. There is a small coin inside the lock of the door causing it to be impossible to open without removing the coin. You remove the coin and see the image of a demon moulded in silver on one side and the image of a normal man on the other. Upon touching this coin you are shown images of places more frightening than any human description of the Christian hell. Items that can be found in these places that could make you more powerful than any god. Fears you must face and a darkness in humanity you must overcome or suffer a fate worse than the flames and torture you witness . At this point you black out again. When you awake your adventure will begin. Like two sides of the coin you will be taken into a world more frightening than anything you can imagine as well as the reality you know but don't recall. With each passing between the realms the line that divides them becomes blurred. Can you keep your sanity intact while you search for your past. Can you separate yourself from your need to escape this nightmare while fighting the compulsions to seek out the items the coin showed you? Only you can make these choices. Will you be a holder or will you be the held?
An adventure game idea I'm currently working on. I started in AGS but have since decided to move to XNA and use 3D models. I'm still thinking of releasing a demo in 2D using AGS just to get the story going. ( Currently waiting for my artist to find some more time to help unless you want stick trees and stickmen in your horror adventure game... not very scary tbh)
