Dead Content Project CREPUSCULUM - Now Complete!

[CERU]

I am considering releasing it now, without the no-text-skip during cutscenes. I'll just let the player know if they skip during a cutscene, their game will screw up. D:

Do it! :P
Seriously, I would love to play this thing. Just the screenshots give me the willies for some reason...

 

[CERU]

It is complete and avaliable for download.

Enjoy and please comment! This is my first complete game!

Hmm... when I download it, it says that it's an unknown file type... perhaps you could upload a .zip file as well...?

Huh? I uploaded the compressed file ...

I'll reupload it as a zip.

If anyone else has problems please tell me.

Never mind, for some reason my computer isn't recognizing WinRAR any more (Just like it isn't recognizing the fact that the RTP is installed! ARGH!!!)

I got it to extract, but I can't play it... I apparently have to setup RMXP again... hopefully my activation code still works. *crosses fingers*

 

[CERU]

Fixed.

Please leave a comment when downloading so that I know how many have downloaded. Or post what you think of the game.

You shouldn't have to pay. Maybe remove RTP then reinstall it?

Please don't double post. Use the edit button.

I've been waiting for this some time now!
I downloaded the game as an .exe file and it worked just fine for me.

The game is really nice!You've done some great work on it!
I like the dark atmosphere this game has,
it gives it a very spooky horror feel.
And this proves that a horror game can be made in RMXP
if the whole thing is done right.
It turns out that dodging enemies is pretty fun.
But if the zombies surround you,it's game over!
I actually liked that.It's more realistic that way.
In conclusion,major kudos CERU!

And there were some moments that really scared me!
I'd be more specific about the scenes,
but I can't find the spoiler tag anywhere so,
it'll have to wait.Maybe I'll give a more detailed review
when I finish the game!

Now,at first I got a little confused that I had to type things,but I think I'm getting the hang of it!
But,I am stuck somewhere.In the door with the missing handle.
I have it,and I keep typing HANDLE but nothing happens.
I don't know if it's a bug...Can you please help me solve this?:please:

I used to think this genre'ed games wouldn't go well with RMXP, but I was proven wrong by Alexia. So I'm looking forward to try this out. :D Will dl it later.

Thank you so much, it makes me so happy. Pay close attention to the storyline, and try to find as many Notes as you can find to help you better understand what's going on.

But not everything will be revealed ... yet.

Spoiler

To attach the handle you must first find the tape. It's a combination puzzle.

Also, you'll notice that almost all the music in the game is composed by me. My friend suggested I create a soundtrack download, with some tracks that didn't make it into the game.

Was another horror game made by Alexia?

 

[Reives]

Oo, I didn't know that. Very nice then, props on the original music.

The atmosphere is very well done, the picture lighting around the player omits a spooky atmosphere. Are ya using negative fog for the actual fog by the way?

The game play's decent, although I'm still trying to figure out the power thing at the beginning. :D; I'm bad at these kind of games.

Thank you. The music you're hearing now is some of the very first music I created, but as you progress the music should get better (save for one or two RTP midis

Thank you, yes but I'm not sure I prefer this system of shadow-making anymore. I want to research dynamic lighting.

There are two plugs, find them both ... And make sure to check everything!

Hmm I can't seem to get the tape down.

Edit: Nevermind, I got it!

Edit again:

Spoiler

I can't get past the part where the old man takes Elle away and summons a big monster.

Avoid all monsters, especially that big one. Eventually enough time will pass that you will return to the "surface plane" and progress.

Lol. I think there's some iffy dialogue somewhere around there.

 

[KitanaSanti]

Spoiler

Ahh! Thank you! I figured I'd have to find a way out, but I just kept being killed. Solved it.

Continue on! You'll be reaching some of the longer areas of the game now. I hope you saved before the fight (it's a WHILE until the next save point).

 

[KitanaSanti]

Whew! I'm back in the sewers and getting chased around by FAST monsters! *keeps getting ganged up on* Hehe this is fun! I really love your game CERU!

Thank you. I hope you can get through the next portion of the game. It's really very tricky ...

I reuploaded the file guys.

 

[KitanaSanti]

The doors and the glowing keys? I'm actually having some trouble with that one, but I'm determined to figure it out on my own!

IMO this is the most difficult portion of the game because it tricks your eyes. I literally cannot see it myself sometimes. I think it's something to do with your brain messing with you.

I'll give you a hint: There is a hidden alleyway ... find it and you'll find the key you're looking for.
