Oct 31, 2007 Full Version 66 commentsThe full version of Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut.


Your name is David Leatherhoff, and you're addicted to a new painkiller from a company unknown
They keep coming, and you can't stop taking them.
Lately you have started to experience illusions, dreams picking at your deepest and darkest fears.
Finally, you go to the Hospital, seeking help. First, however, you make a stop into the bathroom, where another bottle of pills awaits you, standing out like a beacon in the night in your depraved eyes.
When will it all stop?
Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut is a survival horror mod for Half-Life 1. It is an enhanced version of the original Afraid of Monsters.
What's new?

It has been 2 years since this mod got released, so I wanted to somehow celebrate it. The only way I can think of how, is to show you ModDB members, who might have missed this mod, that it exists! As it has been Halloween, I thought that this would be quite interesting to post, as this is a horror mod. Well fitting for this kind of weather and atmosphere that is going on right now.
You play a guy named David, who is a drug-addict. He can no longer stand it out, so he decides to seek help at a hospital. When he's there, as addicted he is, he goes into a restroom and takes some more pills. But this time, it goes very wrong. From the pills you take, you start to experience hallucinations, and those hallucinations are your enemies. But you can't stop take the pills, because then you will die.
The mod has four different endings and altarnate routes, which makes it interesting to replay it. And if you see all those endings, you will be rewarded with a secret neat item. There are also plenty of secret hidden things that you can find.
As you might understand, this mod is an improvement of the older version Afraid of Monsters. I made Afraid of Monsters alone, so it didn't turn out that well. So with Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut, I got help from James Marchant, Minuit, with very much things.
Currently, me and James and some other people, are working with a new Half-Life 1 horror mod called Cry of Fear. It has the same theme, and we think you might like it if you like this mod.
I know some people have complained about an error which says: "Cache_TryAlloc: 12708976 is greater than free hunk" There is a simple fix to that error if you're using Steam. Right click the game in Steam, click properties, click "Set Launch Options", then type;
"-heapsize 512000"
There is one more thing I would like to say before this news ends, and that is; how many people would like to see a proper Co-op "expansion" to this mod? If you want, we might be able to make it. That was it for this news. I hope you like Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut, and my other upcoming project.

The full version of Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut.
This is just some very small gameplay, so you can see how it's kinda going to be. The quality is very bad, that's because I just don't want to spoil so...

WTF.
After a 1 hour download and 30 mins install,it doesn't work?
i mean,i just turn "play game" on easy,it stares at me telling:
Map intro.bsp not found on server.
check out the files and its THERE.
i turn it on medium,it tells the same,ITS STILL THERE a 2.66 mb file.
i turn it on hard,it does the same still...
I have HL-NO-STEAM v1.1.1.2 or something like that and i am a No-steamer cause steam sucks and thats it.
IT DOESN'T PLAINLY WORK.
goddamnit.
Your fault for not using Steam.
That sucks.
your mod crashed my PC. I got blue screen and then it started to dump the physical memory...wtf?!
Any suggestions?
i got to the room after the bit where you get the gun and flash light in the tutorial and it crashed...
What's your OS, what graphics card do you have, what graphics mode are you running?
I'm running Vista Home Premium and my graphics card is the NVidia 8800GT, i'm not sure of the mode i'm running (how would i find that out).
The only complaints I have is that in the area where you get surrounded by zombies (or whatever you call them in the game)in that corridor and you have to switch on those buttons behind the shutters (I don't know how else to describe it). It's sort of an annoyance that the camera shifts to whatever is opening when you flick a switch and the monsters kill meanwhile, forcing you to waste your ammo on all of them before getting on with the puzzle.
Anyway, I didn't exactly find it scary besides just a few jumps but then again I hardly ever get scared in games but I still appreciate how frightening it would be so the thing I love about Survival Horror games is the survival aspect (Managing and conserving your ammo and supplies).
I am of course ashamed I don't get scared as easily as other players.
Hows the story?
Just check out the images section. ^^
