Darkness is a linear (with optional side-quests) first-person Horror Adventure game. Six people over the prior month have gone missing from a hotel. You, a hired detective, have been brought in to investigate. Only problem is, this investigation will be a bit more than you bargained for. The setting is in the early 1920s. World War 1 just ended, prohibition just got added as the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The world is in a frenzy and you're at the thick of it, dealing with possibly one of the most unique cases you've ever had. Will you - Can you survive the darkness?

Definitely liking what you've got so far...loving the atmosphere and art style of the level :) only thing that I'm kinda "eh" about is the character...just seems like a cardboard cut-out or something with no life about him...though I understand everything is still WIP, of course. I don't know; if you stuck with the silhouette-player idea, some more animation or other characterization would be lovely.

Yeah, haven't gotten around to the character model yet. So I made a quick little vector silhouette and am using that as a placeholder until I can get the model done.

Wow, it's looking really really good, the only thing I would recommend is to tweak lighting a little bit, because as it stands now, character is oftenly merged with shadows, which looks odd... Definitely tracking!
