Game entry for the All Hallows' Event 2013
Theme: survival horror

Synopsis

It all ended in a night of terror for Scarlet. All she could recall was her stepfather, brandishing the hunter's knife that he had tried to kill her with, then the fall that blackened all reality in an instant.

She finds herself waking up in a hospital where all chaos had broken loose, and now must piece together what happened while avoiding the possibility of her stepfather finding her to continue what he had failed the night before -- kill her.


Characters



Scarlet Holder - The protagonist of the game. She wakes up in a recovery room confused and worried. No one seems to be around, and she doesn't know where she is. all she knows is that she has to find help, and fast.



Dr. Basil Frederick - He is a 42 year old doctor who attempts to help the protagonist through her predicament.



Quiet Girl - A young girl who never utters a word throughout the game. She follows the main character around the hospital for unknown reasons.

Features

- Interactive puzzles (clues, combinable items and some quick thinking)
- A simple menu layout in which items and tools are used to trigger events
- A chase system to keep people alert through the course of the game
- A hide system that let's you chose when you would like to stop hiding
- A hint system that help players find items and important objects when stuck
- 1-2 hours of game play (most probable estimation)

Controls

Version 1 - Plenty of game-breaking problems... still.

So today I had released a version with quite a number of errors in it. I wouldn't recommend it be downloaded for the time being until these problems are resolved.

Sorry again, I'll get em all patched up for v1.1

Issues:

- There are multiple ways to go about playing the game... Because of this, a new bug arose (conditional if you happened to do the main story before sub goals) which prevents the player from going any further.
- The combination lock for the power maintenance can't be discovered because the switches for the boiler room won't turn on... I forgot to change the settings for the event to "same as char".
- The morgue storage has a major problem. a switch won't turn on preventing the player from going any further (It was working before.. but the update to increasing the timer destroyed that).

Again, I am really sorry about all this! I'll get it all patched up ASAP~!!

Is this supposed to be an entry into All Hallows Event 2013? The comment about not being able to finish on time (not to mention the target completion date that is posted) makes me largely suspect this.


Sorry about the reference error! I was apparently too much in a rush in typing that. In any event, expect a little something something from me in the near future!
It's no problem, thank goodness you pointed that out too because I needed to include the notice and theme in order to be acknowledged as a participant in the event =]

Thanks for taking the time to play and review the game also!! It really means a lot to me because I don't know how others (players) view the game... If I knew I'd be able to make appropriate changes to the game as needed =]

I'm really looking forward to it! A bit anxious because I know I'm still far from anything too good... but excited regardless! I'll be sure to watch it closely and ready for any comments/criticism you have to offer (I'm pretty sure the other game download had several bugs, they weren't fixed until today's release of version 1.0).

Thanks again for the review, Marrend! =]
do you have any full spoiler, please? I'm stuck with the first chasing guy D:

I see that the game is getting a lot of people stuck right off the beginning... (did you make sure you have the latest download available? version 1.0 has plenty of game-breaking bugs!) I will make a walkthrough for the game, I shall get it finished by today and post the link up for people to see =]

Thank you for the suggestion! Oh, and here's what you need to do after the first chase:
You have to find a hiding spot in one of the following rooms (surgery room 1, 2, ??? room 1, 2, and your starting room. Currently, this version only has hiding spots under beds and cabinets (though only a few actually have space large enough for the character to hide in) Hope this helps you out!

maybe I'll wait for you posting the walkthrough, since my school's tasks demand me to finish them -_- and congratulation for making us stuck right in the beginning, cause it means that you've made a great game :D

a part of me wants to hug people who make a female the main lead :)
as frankly im tired no past tired of male leads saving the world and getting the girl and what other cliches they bring
so just for that im looking 4ward to playing this :D
thank you for breaking away from that dull line of thought :D
@Shayoko - Thanks for the feedback! We too are happy about having her as the protagonist =] But I wouldn't expect too much from this game in it's current version (we really had only a month to make this from scratch... so it won't have all the features we had hoped to give it). Version 2.0 is on its way which will include a much better gaming experience, more music for the game and even more scares! Hopefully you could wait a bit longer for version 2.0 (it will be a blast and will totally be worth the time!) =D

@Mizumori - The walkthrough is out, but version 2.0 is also making its way out too!! Hopefully you could wait just a week or two longer till the release (As mentioned more descriptively here)! Although version 1.1 is playable... It still needs to have several more upgrades and improvements to the dialogue (needs foreshadowing hints and better goals). I really don't mind if you just want to play the game though, I still think that version 1.0 contains everything it needs for a good game (esp since the walkthough is out now!) =D

Alright then... time to get started on version 2.0. Feel free to leave a comment / suggestion / bug report! The experience you have with the game is really important! I'll do the best I can to make it a good game for everyone (I might have to change the status to 'development' for version 2 if possible.)

thank you for the walkthrough :)

is version 2.0 the one you'd said as the real game? waah.. that's pretty fast!! Good luck with the project, and maybe I'll play it around the middle of December (though you'll release it on 1 or 2 weeks again), cause... you know college's making me drowned by a sea of tasks!!

and... if you have really finished this game, hope you'll create another awesome games!! :D

ganbatte ne!! e(> <)/

p.s. not so important, but just call me Fumaira. that's my little name ^ ^

i wpuld be so glad if you could take me hints or answer my question :D|

Haha, I'm glad that you're enjoying the game so far! I'd love to hear about your review (esp the artwork! I'm a big fan of people like you =]) honest feedback and criticism will surely help me improve the game as I continue working on the next version ^^ Thank you for the support, Kyugoroko!

And here you go, hope this helps you out a bit! =]
The vault clue can be deciphered after collecting all the clue pieces (you can initiate the quest by finding the "first piece" inside the same room, under the table). Once all four notes are collected, you may then decipher the vault combination (hint: the left side represents which vault numbers take precedence over the others)

Good luck and have fun! (Minor note: game is currently being upgraded as we speak... there will be some drastic changes with the next release (more detailed here), but criticism and feedback will greatly help with making changes to the next version) =D

Thank you so much! ahahaha im now playing im using your hints ;) yes i will make a review for this and some critics. I hope i can help you a bit for improving this game. Oh btw speaking of this

is it me or in the dormitory, it seems that the character walk slowly than the other rooms? i dont know if its a bug or just in my system but in my opinion, it is best that to maintain equally the speed of the characters(like for example in the west wing, the character walks fast while in the dorm, its too slow)

I didnt finish the game yet so maybe i can give some critics :D hope you dont mind . =} im glad to help ^_^ Hoping you can finish the upgrade version of it soon!
oh oh btw :) just want to have suggestions on your game (if you dont mind) aahh can u put several endings? like if you made a wrong choice in a certain situation, there will be a diff.ending on that one.. so on and so forth. Well its just my suggestion, the game will rather be exciting if you have several endings =]
so... I've finished the game!!! Yaaayy....

let me tell you...
first I fortunately *or not* got the good ending, by helping him out. I didn't understand much the story, so I replayed again the game and got the bad end, which answered my question. (seems you expected that the player would go to the bad end one first, ne? ;D ).
And I hope there's something more about the quiet girl, like... she was actually Scarlet's acquaintance


after finished the game, those are my thought (please read, and explain to me if any of these is wrong), and I want to ask about...

so, the one who chased Scarlet all the time is dr. Frederic himself, right? And he means no harm, but trying to save her. But her schizophrenia made all things complicated.
What I want to ask is... why she saw the doctor as her stepfather? and I really want to know the really full story of this game... about Scarlet, the quiet girl, and of course our hero, dr. Frederic!! but if you decided that this story has already complete, then you really made a bait for me to make a fanfic XDD


and... forgive me for saying this, but...

why you made dr. Frederic too old?! I'm just being his fangirl because his last line in the end of the game!!


over aaaalll.... you really made a great game!! I really enjoyed playing this one!! hope the version 2.0 quickly released and you made another great game :D

hello, kyugoroku!!! eh... have you check the walkthrough tab?? maybe you'll need them for upcoming problem...

but here's the solution for your problem
first, after you get the first clue (about something as cold as stone...), go to the west wing, and head to the north east part (the top of your game display as north) of the west wing (pass the corpse of someone, turn left), you'll see a twin statues. push the left one to the left, and inspect it)--2nd code
- The second clue talks about an object that never stops “talking” and to smash it’s “face” in. This clue refers to the clock in dormitory 1 so go ahead and investigate that clock to obtain clue 3 and the second passcode piece.
- The third clue is somewhat harder as it mentions hearing something you can’t see in the west. West is referring to the west wing and hearing something you can’t see refers to the sound effects of the room. If you walk around the sofas, you will notice a sudden change of the sound representing a hollow tile piece hiding the fourth clue piece… the problem is getting that piece out of there! In order to get the clue out, you will need a crowbar to move the tile slab out of the way.
- The fourth and final clue talks about the owner being called to an appointment (which means he had to enter someone’s office). He says that just before leaving the room, he tossed the clue somewhere no one would find it, meaning that he most likely tossed it behind an object out of people’s sight. If you investigate the head nurses office, you will see a potted plant beside the exit. Investigate that and you will find the final vault clue piece.

Solving the vault passcode – The vault inside the “??? Room” requires a 4 digit combination for it to be unlocked. If you look at the vault clues obtained, you will notice that there are 4 numbers pointing to four other numbers. The four numbers on the left side only go up to 1-4… so we can safely assume that the passcode is represented from the numbers 1-4 in order. In that case, the 1st number is 6, the 2nd number is 4, the 3rd number is 9 and the 4th number is 2. Enter that combination and you should be able to unlock the vault and obtain some money inside.

then, buy the bread from the vending machine on dormitory 1



hope you'll finish the game quickly!! and sorry for the spoiler ^_^;
@Aeri_Sicher im realy sorry for asking so many question >< but could you tell me the location of the notes..? Just only one note. Waaa i've been in places and i looked carefully but i didnt found any NOTES related to the vault combination. Im just thinking, is this a bug or something? coz its like i cant proceed further. :( Thanks!
@Fumaira

WAAAA this.... thank you for your help! Its ok its just a minor spoiler XD well i didn't read the walkthrough coz i thought the puzzle was so easy that i can finish the game for only an hour or two >o< In this maybe i can finish the game now :) thank you so much for your help. :))

@Aeri_Sicher really sorry for bothering you just because im so dumb not knowing the puzzle >_< i'll try harder from now own, This game is really superb that i cant sleep thinking about the puzzle XD
hello again(and again) haha I've finished this awesome game now! yes :)) thanks a lot. This was quite awesome, for how many nights ive been about the vault puzzle XD i didn't know you've made a walkthrough, well i don't like to read walkthroughs coz i want to finish the game with my effort. but this time, i was practically reading it and aahahha i got the bad ending. then i repeated the game and got the true end. Nice game!! :D 2 thumbs up for this one.!

Im currently making an artwork for the protagonist , the doctor , the quiet girl and the stepfather(for the stepfather, i just used my imagination) It will be uploaded on my tumblr, i'll just send a link to ya when im done :D

Now time for the feedbacks, suggestions, critics.. i'll just post a review on this :D i hope you wont mind a long review ^^ great piece of work, keep it up!
