Here is my first ever horror game, worked on by me(Jake Robson) and Shaun Of The Dead(Shaun Read). I do not want to give away much of the story just quite yet until the beta/demo is released.

Beta Testers
Shaun Of The Dead
Demonair
Screaming Head Games
Matty3962
Dude232

Day 1
Your first day at GP Inc. Factory Slot 4, you are assigned to do small tasks down in the dark, depths of the factory doing maintenance work on the generators and pipework.

Day 27
You fit in well with your colleagues and work progresses well

Day 32
A close colleague disappears whilst doing work in the lower levels of the factory. A search party is issued.

Day 33
The search continues.....

The lighting looks good (I suspect that it's not lit up because you placed the light too far behind the light entity); and the layout's alright...but not much else to show or distinguish itself from the many other levels around.

Keep at it.

The reason the light source isnt lit up is because there are 2 separate entities in the entity bank of that model... One is on and the other is off..

Looks awesome

First time I've seen the screens. Looks pretty fuddin' scary
Although I have to admit, some areas need a little bit more light, I know your going for a scary atmosphere, but wandering through pitch-black ends up being more annoying than scary

May I suggest making the first level an epilogue, where everything is pretty well lit, and you basically get introduced to the PC and the factory you'll be playing in. It would be something I know I've never seen in a FPSC game.

Cool!

One quick comment: The third to last picture, the light there would be kind of annoying, with the chair there, having a light in front of your face might not be great. Just a minor discrepancy.

Yeah, I don't whant to sound mean, however you do have to many of those lights, and I do agree with PoK, that light is pretty random.
But I guess it is WIP so yeah, keep it up.

Hope I helped some how

Yeah, I'd say the thing that annoyed me was that ceiling light in the cell, hanging down too low, just get that raised up a little bit and it'd be perfect
