I got my inspiration for Lost in the Dark from playing lots of Custom Stories WITHOUT MUCH OIL! When I got the HPL2 engine, I decided to start working on my own Custom Story. The name came naturally, given the player's nyctophobia, and the fact that I wasn't going to use many torches, just to give the player a sanity problem and need to conserve oil and tinderboxes. The idea of waking up in a castle with amnesia seemed to redundant and has been done many times before, but some were very good Custom Stories and I enjoyed them very much. The new characters are my own names I came up with, and I honestly don't have any other character names created right now other than Christopher and Lord Aaron. More to come, got to play Happy Wheels.
