A new horror game arrives!

Since when I was just a small kid, it has always been my dream to make my very own game. I've played so many of them that I couldn't even keep count of them. 

But the thing or rather genre that really interests me are none other than horror games. I grew up playing the classic PS1 horror game franchises such as Resident Evil, Silent hill, Alone in the dark, Clock Tower and many many more.

And then, fast forward to the year 2015.

I heard about a software that can give you the ability to make your own game (RPG Maker VX Ace and RPG Maker MV), and mind this, you can make one without having knowledge about making scripts/plugins (Ruby, HTML, Java etc.) as there are plenty you can use and buy from the web.

I became curious about this program that I decided on that same day to try it and guess what, I become addicted to it!

The simplicity of its user interface, and how easy you can make the game of your dream are truly satisfying by just giving time to this software.

However, like many others, I've faced many difficulties achieving the game of my dream. 

There are times that I start very eager to accomplish something awesome and then losses interest to it halfway. There are days that I kept working on a project nonstop that makes me lose focus on real life problems. So in the end, the result - many, many abandoned projects are left and wasted.

However, I didn't quit on my dreams. I stick to the promise that I gave to myself, that someday, I'll become successful and make my very own game.

Fast forward to the present and here I am. On a brink of success of uploading the very first working game project that I've managed to create for almost a year. (Yeah, it took me atleast 9 months to create this demo because I am too busy on my work.)

The game is inspired from the classic horror games I've mentioned above, but what really gave me inspiration are silent hill. The game really gave me the creeps and at the same time challenges me to think hard to answer the puzzles and riddles and it's truly an awesome experience!

The game I made are just like the barebones of that awesome game and There's no way I'll be able to surpass them but to me, this game is a masterpiece, I will keep working hard and finish it! And that's a promise.

The game has elements of puzzle solving, searching and exploring with a twist of psychological horror onto it. I kept the jumpscare at minimum and the death traps almost to none because I want the player to focus on solving the mystery of the story as well as the puzzles blocking their way to move forward.

I've put hours into making those puzzles and traps so I am hoping that people will find it challenging yet satisfying.

As a last statement to this long and boring log,  I want to inspire those who are like me. Those who lose their way into continuing their projects and abandoned their game dreams because of procrastination and boredom. 

Remember that a great person are not seeking perfection, but rather mistakes to learn and grow.

Those words what kept the passion in me and led me to this very glorious day. If you are still reading this then I am very grateful! 

Let's keep developing and become all successful in whatever dreams we are trying to accomplish.

And with that being said, I am Chadzter a solo indie game developer from philippines signing off this launch devlog.
