This is actually the 1-Level-Demo-Tryout freebie rubbish version that won the Scariest Game contest at the TGC boards. While being unpolished and technically inferior compared to the Game we are developing right now, it *DID* ignite the spark leading to the game we roll out right now. The basic story idea was the same, and also the humor and the chars attitudes were taken over to the current project.
Everything else has been changed in the meantime, especially the FPSC version has been overhauled twice.
Grafix, animations, voice overs, weapons - all that has been improved or totally exchanged. A Questlog has been added as well as some RPG features.
All of these improvements are missing in this version, it`s really the one contributed to the contest.
So here you can play the level that started the developement of "Into the Dark".
Have fun!
PS: Read the description.
Screen Resolution:
is set to 1680*1050, as this turned out to run fluently on mid-range machines.
If your monitor doesn`t support that or you want to go higher, open the setup.ini here and look for
width=1680
height=1050
in the [Gamedebug] section.
Replace with
width=1024
height=768
OR
width=1280
height=800
or any other resolution supported by your system. Game has been tested from 800*600 to 1920*1080.
