That's pretty much the best way to start a scary game off. Lots of horror genre games start off like that, by the way; giving the player little or no information about who they are or where they are. It just makes the game all mysterious and raises the fear factor of things. I do agree with you, however, when you say monsters are always introduced quickly in custom stories. It is good in some cases, but not in most IMO.
*quick note*
Just letting you know, a LOT of stuff you wrote about is all opinion-based, so try not to state it all as if it's a list of facts
like i said, its ok, but make sure you explain where he was and how he got there. give the story some closure, if ya'd like ^^
*quick note*
title reads ''My thoughts on custom stories'' ^^
i think alot of the stuff here is not so opinionbased. most of what ive written is kind of true.
