Esoterica: The Dreamlike

Act One of Four is complete. Keep in mind, I may add a fifth if need be. An act is simply structured around an action mission and a major event. In the first act we're introduced to the team and get some sense of their relationships with one another and Eddie, and aside from a brief dream sequence and some odd behaviour from a bartender, there aren't any surrealist elements introduced yet. The reason for this beign that I want to immerse players in a world that is very real first before diving into the craziness surrounding the mystery.

My hope is that nobody gets bored before the mood does change. The brief dream sequence I added yesterday should help to prevent that a bit. As I've worked on this over the past 3 days, it's become more of a horror themed story than I had expected. The psychological horror has always been there, but I have since decided to add more horror imagery to further the impact it will have on players/viewers.

Tip: Play this game with the lights off and headphones on.

Arranging the scenes in the most effective way is proving to be the most difficult part, but so far I think I've done alright. I'll update again when I'm finished with Act 2.
