Added on: 30 October 2005 Website: http://www.adventure.easyurl.org Content advisory: None  None  Rare, mild Ratings: AGS Panel: (what is this?) Player rating: 77% Alone and lost in the Dark of Night during a storm... Our weary traveller explores his surroundings as he tries to find a way past various obstacles. Game is a bit spooky, with a few surprises and some nice special effects as well(lightning, thunder, rain, etc)... Best played with the lights down low, and the sound turned up a bit. ;) This short game is the beginnings of a short-version of a possible yet-to-come longer version (if there's enough interest and response from people, that think I should continue it). Made for the October 2005 "Release Something - Halloween Edition" AGS event. Light and Rain "plugins" are included with the zip download. Game should run fine on most versions of Windows and on most modern computer systems. Download Now - Download from Mirror 1 (if the download doesn't work, try Right Click, Save Target As)

Posted by Gimble630 on 2009-09-04 at 03:54 (IP logged): I loved this game and wish there could be more like it. Looking forward to the sequel. Posted by uvaagsfan on 2007-10-16 at 02:21 (IP logged): GREAT game! Posted by leon101 on 2007-07-19 at 20:23 (IP logged): This is a great short adventure game. I really hope it is turned into a full game, that would rock! The atmosphere is easily the best I have seen in a AGS game ever, the lighting and darkness, rain and everything is just spooky and it really draws you in. Wonderful stuff. I hope more scary games of this quality get made with AGS. Posted by leon101 on 2007-07-19 at 19:52 (IP logged): Hey, that background with the gate in the screenshot. Is that from Alone in the Dark: The new Nightmare? It is isn't it? Cool! I like that game (but it don't work on my computer... even though it's not that old!) It worked on my older computer though. You know I'll give this a try. Posted by Ariadne on 2007-03-15 at 14:35 (IP logged): This is my first post. I loved this game, and I do hope that someday I may be able to walk down the steps towards the sea! Posted by Aaron Carter on 2007-03-14 at 23:03 (IP logged): After talking to the skeleton several times, leaving and re-entering the bloody stairs room, I still can't find the broken barrel with the mouse. Posted by Teddy Turpin on 2006-09-22 at 00:43 (IP logged): Stylish work. Hurry up with the full version. Posted by charly on 2006-07-12 at 03:50 (IP logged): Really nice game, especially the view (backgrounds, effects). I'm looking forward to a continuation. Posted by Chistinalove on 2006-03-29 at 09:24 (IP logged): Good game, and yeah... I think it should be made into a full version. Thanks! Posted by adventuregal on 2006-01-18 at 11:53 (IP logged): Fantastic remake. I usually have a problem with wannabes...but your graphics were great and the puzzles made sense. The ambience was strong enough to qualify this as a great remake. The only problem I had with it was it was too short, leaving a huge plot hole. I just hope that you can extend this into a full length game with a great plot. Please, keep working on it.
