Verloren is a mod set in 1914 on Verloren Island, a spot of land off the Dutch coast holding a sinister past. Once an idyllic and quiet realm of astonishing forests and rivers, Verloren Island has descended into a decayed existence. Now, as suspicious events unfold and history begins to repeat itself, you are caught between your duty and the ancient entities which inhabit the island. Will you escape? Or will you serve darker purposes...

This is the first view which you can see of a mod on which we have been working on, a lot of thought and development has gone into the concept and story, hopefully enriching the game play.

The mod is set in 1914 and is based off the island of Tiengemeten in the Netherlands, and therefore we have had to research into the dutch language to get the environment and immersion correct so you, the player, feel like you are somewhere new and different.

The name of the island, "Verloren" is dutch as well, although I'm sure you can figure out what it means, and if you do, then you will have an idea of what the story will be like in this short mod, if not, then it's more of a mystery.
Talking of mystery, the story is not necessarily self-evident, there are notes and records of journals to collect as you progress, these are not always in order in which you receive them, but they do explain the back stories and the history of the island, making the main story more clearer.

But what this news is for are the images we have to show of current progress on two levels, the "Manor" and the "Village", these are in alpha stage and are nowhere NEAR finished, but we think that certain sections are good enough to show, although do keep in mind that these levels will change most definitely as they are in alpha.

We hope you enjoy these images and thank you for viewing this mod

"Verloren" does mean "Lost" in Dutch.
I am not sure if you guys are Ducth because above you said;

"...we have had to research into the dutch language to get the environment and immersion correct ..."

looked at your member page etc, but i assume you still need to take the time and effort to fill that all in. So, i can only guess your not Ducth, should you need any info on Dutch languages and or country then feel free to pm me, because i am Dutch.

All in all, screens do look great, very lifelike and realistic.
will keep tracking you guys!!
