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...

What can be Expected From the Story:

  • The darkness enveloping the dorm is not a random occurrence created for no reason just for sake of scares. Reasons for the crisis will/may be hinted in the prologue, and will be a main focus of the actual series.
  • Very few, if any, scares depending on loud, suddenly appearing objects. I am aiming to make the atmosphere of the custom story as tense as possible without relying on jump-scares.

Features:

  • Voice-acting in Chinese with English subtitles. Main reason for this is so that my peers in Taiwan who do not understand English as well can also enjoy the story.
  • Decision to include English voice-acting version is pending.
  • Main setting will be the dorm building. Date is modern day
  • Will use models from the White Night FC. Credit shall be given where due.
  • Is currently expected to have three maps, with one being a combination of a map with its own secrets, as well as a hub.
  • Play-through time is expected to be roughly 10-20 minutes. Subject to change as development continues.

Technical Expectations:

This will be my first custom story. Mainly the reason I chose to start off with a short prologue for the story I've come up with is to see if I have what it takes to take on bigger projects, in other words continuing this series after I've finished the prologue. The series is quite ambitious. Also, I'll use this chance with a small prologue to stack up on skill with the editors.

Trivia:

  • Dorm design is based off of the actual dorm I live in.
  • Hsiung-Ming University is an inside-pun based off of the school district which I go to, called Ming-Hsiung
  • Hao-Che "Howard" Shie, is my roommate, and will be voicing himself, as Howard's Chinese voice actor.
