Just finished it.
There are no words that can express how great this mod is. I was disappointed to see the pistol being one of those shitty FPSB skins but I got used to it after a while. The whole mod is filling with unique character and great mapping. The environments are something one can easily adapt to and actually feel frightened. This mod does a lot of shit I have never even seen done on Source.
Like [sp]when your environment changed around you depending on which way you looked? The room slowly got smaller as you walked to both sides.[/sp]
In the beginning, I truly felt that [sp]Romero was an ally. A true friend who would stick by you throughout the entire story. Only for the last dying SWAT team member to tell me that he is the cause behind all of this.[/sp]
If Minerva and Rock 24 can get Steamworks, this mod can too. Five fucking times!
[QUOTE=tepholman;24288467]And remember, walk at their pace.
Did anyone find this a little easy? I only died once, and that was when I got annoyed at the last boss and jumped into a pit.[/QUOTE]
It was full of medkits, so you could easily heal yourself
I loved this mod...the final boss was fun (if a bit hard to figure out...I finally saw the [sp]wooden supports and remembered that the guy had told me that shooting at stainless steel was pointless[/sp]), the game scared the shit out of me...
the characters were very dynamic as well. In the beginning I totally thought that Romero was my ally and the girl was the enemy, and during the helicopter scene I literally said aloud "Wait a sec, dude your forgetting the other guy!"
The SWAT team was well made as well, I was glad to see that I was given allies more powerful than me (although I lol'd when they made me go in front). When the one SWAT guy was like [sp]"I fucking love my job"[/sp] I thought "Yup, he's gonna die later on"
The rooms that [sp]shrunk and turned into labrynths[/sp] scared the shit out of me as well, although after a bit they became kinda predictable...
I got so freaked out when the random voice said "psst" I kept turning around and stuff.
D'aww, Emily said I'm cute when I'm scared to death.
[sp]Ending would of been better if she walked with you or actually stood you up and said thank you with more expression[/sp]
What killed the [sp]swat member who gets pulled under the door and blown up?[/sp]
Now that I think about it, the parts where the rooms get smaller and smaller remind me a lot of Afraid of Monsters
It had the exact same thing (and it was on GoldSRC!)

It's quite simple to do really. All you need is walls that can be "toggled" (and non-solid) and both Source and the HL engine supports this. Honestly I think all engines based on the BSP format does this all the way back to the original Quake :cool:

Whatever [sp]Romero wanted to kill him.[/sp]
Well, I finally beat it. My only complaint was it was very predictable at spots. The zombies appeared in obvious places.

Lol fail spoiler tags.
[sp] not [spoiler]
I like this mod, it's very well done. The brushwork for the child's room in the prologue was pretty bad, and I was disappointed that the shotgun is the same model as HL2, that the magnum was just a reskinned version of the .357, and that the "9mm" pistol was infact a skin taken from FPSB.
I would've wished you guys put a little more detail into this, but otherwise great mod. I'm still getting freaked out by some of the parts.
Oh, and the pistol you guys chose isn't chambered in 9mm.
Well I just downloaded it and played up to chapter 4. So far, I'm getting a large Afraid of Monsters vibe from it which should be considered the best compliment you can give to a horror game.
Though I have to wonder, does [I]every single horror game[/I] have to take place (at least partially) in a hospital?

And what's up with the [sp]DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU[/sp] subtitles? Were they a glitch, or intentional?
[QUOTE=minilandstan;24298298]What killed the [sp]swat member who gets pulled under the door and blown up?[/sp][/QUOTE]
It's never revealed.
[QUOTE=postmanX3;24300736]And what's up with the [sp]DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU[/sp] subtitles? Were they a glitch, or intentional?[/QUOTE]
Apparently intentional, it's a very short silent WAV file with a caption associated
I really love the [sp]boss battle music.[/sp] Anyone else?
I might (Big might + it would be my second playthrough.) stream me playing this later if anyone is interested.
[QUOTE=Murdoco;24300976]I might (Big might + it would be my second playthrough.) stream me playing this later if anyone is interested.[/QUOTE]
Yes
Do it
also, downloading now. Looks awesome
I knew the [sp]scientist at the end was evil because it flashes a picture of him and the girl early in the game.[/sp]
Edit:
Also the [sp]mannequins chasing you and the fake Swat mannequin was very creepy.[/sp]
Hey Hen7 I noticed a bug in your game my first play through.
[sp] the part where you are in the hole and you run back and forth and it gets smaller and the girl appears above you and you fall I got stuck at the part where I was supposed to fall and just ended up staring at the girl for a long time and eventually loading my last quicksave. I shot her in the head though for safe measure.[/sp]
[QUOTE=nibbler234;24300903]I really love the [sp]boss battle music.[/sp] Anyone else?[/QUOTE]
Yes. But it's a very small loop so in order to enjoy long periods of it, I gotta put several clips of it together. :saddowns:
I would pay to see someone stream this live like 4 Player Podcast and watch them scream at every corner.

The bumpmaps for the woman.
Naughty naughty...
[QUOTE=eXeC64;24296490]You actually went into her materials? Anyways, a #34 has been prevented. Also, there was originally stuff there, from the original modeller. We removed them in the interests of good taste.[/QUOTE]
The files are still there just before the female folder.

The femalex6_body before the folders is the uncensored version. I don't even know why I looked but whats done is done.
I'm trying to look at the dummy's skins to see if I was imagining it appearing with flesh, but my model viewer is broken. :saddowns:

This should help

If anyone wants to watch my stream go to

It may lag a bit at parts but shouldn't be too noticeable..I did a mic check and made sure it was running decently before I start.
It'll be starting in a moment.

t was intentional to make players go "Oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man"
