Story:
You are a Taiwanese university student named Hao-Che "Howard" Shie who goes to the Hsiung-Ming University. On what seems like a typical morning, Howard is alone in his dorm room sleeping because of all his roommates, he is the only one without morning classes. Suddenly, an emergency evacuation of dorm broadcast rings out for some reason, waking Howard up suddenly. In his frantic attempts to get off the top bunk of his bed, he falls to the floor, and is knocked unconscious.

Hours later, he wakes up, and finds that the dorm building is now completely deserted since the evacuation (During which he was left behind in the panic), and enveloped by a strange unnatural darkness...

About:
This is the first custom story I made, and the first intended of the series. It's not a very long custom story, and will take 10 to 20 minutes to beat it average. Hope you like it!

NOTE: This mod will require the Justine update.

Features:

• Voice-acting in Chinese with English subtitles.
• Main setting will be the dorm building. Date is modern day taking place in 2011.
• Has a healthy(?) mix of different types of scares.
• Non-linear hub style gameplay
• Decisions taken throughout will affect will affect game dialogue, some slight, and some more noticeable. Play multiple times to experience it all!
• I believe that too difficult, vague puzzles(Or simply level progression) =/= good puzzles. I have taken extensive measures to ensure the player does not get stuck too easily. If you do, read your mementos, or look at your items. The answer will always be clear.

Moddb is acting up currently. I don't want to delay my announced release date, so until I get that fixed, here's the download link off of MediaFire:

I'll add the Moddb link once it's okay. In the meantime, anyone have an estimate of how long it take to upload a 30MB file to Moddb? It's been going for an hour now.

I liked the idea of the haunted statue being the source of the problems, although I'm still a little unclear about what it exactly is, or how it got there. It could have had another monster or two in there, maybe one roaming around the main room, as there was nothing there to pose a threat. I liked the flashback scene in the tv room, with the Servitor, and then the brute coming down. What I didn't like was that the statue didn't show up enough. He showed up at key points, but there could have been more times. Like when you got the crowbar from the basement, maybe you turn around and he is in the doorway watching you. Overall, it was a pretty well put together custom story, and I liked it.

Well, without spoiling anything of the plot to come, let's just say that there's more to that statue than you think there is, and that it's not, subtly speaking, the only source of your problems

Also, I kind of disagree with you on the statue needing to show up more often though. I think that adding another scene with him in in would have been one too many.
