Hello ModDB community! I know we've been here for quite a while, but I wish to introduce ourselves and tell you a bit about what to expect in The Lost Tests.
First off, as you may figure, we are VERY early in development. Out of the many maps there probably will be, we have two that are very close to being done (AKA polishing up and fixing glitches), two that have a fair amount of gameplay, but are incomplete and full of things to tidy up, and one that's just started. There will be three chapters, and each will contain a large amount of maps. We don't currently have a specific number, but here are my estimations:
CHAPTER 1:
Story: 5
Puzzles: 9
Total: 14
CHAPTER 2:
Story: 7
Puzzles: 9
Tests: 16
CHAPTER 3:
Story: 5
Puzzles: 11
Total: 16
CHAPTER TOTALS:
Story: 17
Puzzles: 29
Total: 46
If you've read the mod description, you'd know that this mod will feature many horror elements (no, not test elements). I can assure you, it will be scary. We are attempting to create a feeling that something's around the corner or behind your back, instead of using cheap jump-scares. Because I don't want to reveal much, that's all I'll tell you now.

We are seeking people to join and help with the mod. Currently we need:
- Mappers
- Puzzle makers
- Modelers
- Scripters
- Voice actors for Cave Johnson and GLaDOS.

Finally, we are happy to announce an upcoming demo of the mod, which will feature the first four (possibly five) levels. This will give you a general idea on the story, horror, gameplay, and hopefully raise peoples' interest in the mod. The demo probably won't be available for a long time, so sit back and enjoy the content until then:

This is one of the mods that I am very excited to play. I am quite interested in it's unique genre. I am also amazed by the excellent level design. I wish you the best of luck with the development of this mod.
