You're a police officer dispatched with a couple of squad-mates to find a 9-year old boy by the name of Brandon. When you enter the mansion, there is no sight of your squad-mates and the light has dimmed to a light blue as if there is no daylight inside of this building. As you explore the mansion, you find it's haunted. Moving objects, blood-thirsty monsters. After a while you begin seeing them when they aren't even there. Even the ones that are not there can actually hurt you. Your job is to find this boy, and there's no turning back. ----- How he got in there? It was the boy's birthday party.. 5 friends over. In order to 'prove' his aging to 9 years, his friends made him go inside the mansion for 10 minutes. 30 minutes passed and he hasn't returned, the friends don't want to go in. So they resort to telling the parents, the parents call the police.Credits:Map Creation: DragonRuinsScripting: DragonRuins--------------------------------------
I would also like to note that this is my second custom story. My first one is currently on the frictional games forum, but it's not quite near as good as this one is going to be. If you're interested in trying the other one since it's currently released, feel free:

First off, I would just like to say that the quality of the new additions is a bit poor. For one, some of the voices that I have added in are a bit 'cloudy' and don't sound very good. But they were just place holders and I wanted to get another version out anyway. So please try and understand that poor quality voices are only temporary. Also, some of the more recent parts of the CS that I have added still require some detail that I am wanting to work on, but the bare rooms won't be left alone. They WILL be changed/fixed. If you have any questions, comment here or on the main page.
This Custom Story is still being worked on
NewsI don't know if this CS has been seen as discontinued or whatever you may call it. I understand that the last update was 3 weeks ago and I just put up...

Fairly short, and no conclusion to the story. Just randomly ends when you break open a door. The map design was really lazy in the prison, a bunch of copy/paste jobs. Other than that it was fine, good scripting, nav was a bit buggy, when the brute chases you properly for the first time, he gets stuck behind the wall, allowing you to remove the boulders with ease. Voice actin' was fine as well, nice touch I guess. Not bad, but a bit too short to recommend, oh and the jumpscares were fairly weak. 3/10

when will the full be out?
At the moment I'm stuck between scrapping this one and beginning on a new CS with a friend, or continuing this one. But at some point in the future, you'll get a full Custom story from me.
What program did you use to test this?
What do you mean? The level editor? I used the HPL 2 Editor. If you mean record those videos... It's fraps.
The game totally crashed on me. D: Youtube.com Around 1:48 is when it crashes, and 2:35 shows the "FATAL ERROR" message that pops up. I even tried downloading it again to make sure I wasn't missing a file, and I wasn't. All the files where there. Whenever I try to open that door, the game crashes. I can't continue at all.
Hmm... That appears to be the door's issue. xD I completely forgot to add it so that the door actually leads somewhere! hahaha... I can't believe that I forgot that.
This wos a ******* scary custom story it wos greait :D
I found a glitch. As soon as you start, if you walk between the wall and the staircase (right staircase), you'll just go through the staircase completely. Luckily, I was recording it as it happened. Youtube.com Around 4:37 is where the glitch happens. The game doesn't crash or anything, but you can probably walk though the staircase and a wall to get into the nearest room. You can also walk back out, so it's not like you're stuck there or anything. I'll keep my eyes open if I find another one. Great mod, by the way!
I decided instead to just setup a forum, so if you find the time, I'd appreciate it if you would be able to list this in the bugs section for me. :D
Alright, no problem!
Thank you so very much for spotting that for me. I'll just put an invisible barrier at a reasonable distance between the staircase and the wall on both sides just in case, and hopefully that fixes the issue. I also think that I'm going to be making a "News" post for people to list any bugs they find.
I made another video that shows me exploring the glitch a little more in depth. My hypothesis about being able to just walk into the nearest room was incorrect, however you can still interact with things in said room, like opening/closing a close closet door, which is shown in the video. Youtube.com
