Frictional Games Forum

I've got the Tech Demo and the Overture Demo. I've gotta say, I'm impressed, greatly, by both. They're both very scary. How do I know that? I haven't finished either one.

I'm trying to scrape together some loose cash, but I can't buy the game for a little bit. I will, though, ASAP. I love the fact that, for a horror game, you guys sure don't use any cheap scares (i.e. screamers). The game isn't a "Things jump out at you" game, it's more like "OhMyGodSomethingIsGoingToKillMeDearGodSlowMyHeart" kinda thing you see in actual horror movies.

I gotta say, I quit the game after the first door. Power went out, and I near crapped a brick. In fact, I end up having to compose myself after just about any action whatsoever. (I'm such a wimp. )

Heck, I have a walkthrough for the Tech Demo sitting on my desk, spelling out when and where enemies attack, and I still get really freaked out.

I recently watched a YouTube vid series from Overture, involving the UV light and the deranged writing. I tell you, I'm gonna have some interesting dreams tonight.

Anyways, thank you for creating a genuinely scary game that's fun, realistic and exciting. Can't wait to get the nerve to finish the games.

Hey, I finished the Tech Demo. Cool, if odd ending.

...

Shouldn't there have been two monsters? I was never attacked by the second.

I haven't looked, but I think the second monster is a slightly random chance, or there's a slight glitch involved. The first time I played the tech demo, I didn't see the second roach (flying bat thing), but the game did display the "Hugh, did I hear something" messenge.

If the second monster you're talking about is the man-type thing, than he never made it into the tech =[ Story goes that the orignal artist helping the frictional team packed his bags before the animations were finished.

And ya, the tech demo ended funny. Thank god for mods, eh? (see sig)

story is somewhat right
but he didnt packed his baggs, he left for some other reason (dont know it, but i think its something like moving from the place he lived or something like that)

No, I wasn't talking about the man-type... creature... thing. I never got the message saying some other creature was there. I have my walkthrough in front of me (I got lost, somehow) and it says that I should be attacked after entering the room with the key-lock, but "I should have enough time to get another chair, place it under the vent and use the vent tool."

I just re-did the Tech Demo and I found out the problem. Apparently, I grabbed the chair on the right side of the room (the one that's on its back, not the one right-side up or the angled one for barricading the door), and that wasn't far enough back to get the creature to spawn. I went for the dynamite in the back of the room, and then the second creature spawned.

He never made it in, though; I had barricaded the door with both crates and the angled chair. He was still trying to bash that door by the time I left the locker room.
