Your hands are shaking... but you continue to write in your journal.

[/i]...now I'm all alone. No one here to help me... to tell me what to do. Corbis just went crazy. We should have known from the beginning. He gave us signs, but we ignored them. I had a feeling in my gut about him, and what he'd been up to before we all teamed up together, but I foolishly ignored that as well.

You take a break from writing, and focus on calming your nerves. Sweat dribbles down the side of your face, cooling you off.
You stand up, and look at the evironment. You're inside of a small room, with a dark hallway staring at you. You sit back down, and begin to write some more.

If you find this, journal, then you should be able to find the radio that I have left for you. Look in the desk, third droor. Turn the frequency to 30.6, and talk to me. I have no clue what these things are, so I'm hoping that you do. Please, contact me right as you read this.[i]

You place the pen that you've been using into your pocket. You then place the journal on the floor where you've been sitting, and you stand up once again. You take a few steps in front of you, then you look down at the monster that you killed a few minutes earlier. Its head is shrunken, and its hands don't even seem to exist anymore. Enormous blades have grown out of the monsters arms, and a few bones reach out from the monsters shoulders. Suddenly, the monster's arm moves, and the blade taps your shoes. "Ah!" you yell, stepping back. The monster lies on the floor completely motionless now. Your hands begin to tremble some more. "Its time to move, screw this place." you say to yourself. The intimidating dark hallway continues to stare at you. There is a desk beside you, where you placed the radio for someone to retrieve, hopefully. A lantern is lit, sitting on top of the desk, but it has little oil remaining.

What will you do?

Choose actions carefully in this game. This game is mainly for advanced players... which means that you gotta think a lot and make sure you make few errors.

The Sanity means how... sane you are. The more monsters you encounter, the more your sanity will drop. If your Sanity reaches rock bottom, then your companions will consider you a threat and unsafe to be around, and therefor they will kill you. If you have no companions, then you will be okay, but monsters will find you more frequently and it will be more dangerous. To decrease your sanity, drink alcohol, or just simply talk to companions about memories or talk about something you miss. Anything that would help you keep your mind in place.

The category named: Suffering From, tells you what your suffering from pretyt much. You have to eat, drink, and sleep in this game. If you don't get enough sleep, you will suffer from sleep deprivation. If you don't drink water, you'll suffer from dehydration, etc.

So... what will you do?

You use one match to light the lantern.
You look under the door to see shadows, and unfortunately, you see some shadows moving around. You also hear the strange sounds that the monsters make. You silently back up from the door, and move the lantern away from the door to avoid detection. You wait for a couple of minutes, then you get back up, and approach the door. You don't hear them or see the shadows anymore. You cautiously open the door, and step inside. You raise the lamp to attack anyone in sight, but you see nothing. The contents in this room hold the same things like the other rooms. A desk, a closet, scattered paperwork, and office materials.

You open the closet, and a large object falls out. You step back, but its not moving. You put your lantern near it, and you find that its a shotgun! In the closet, you see a box of shells.

(I'm right handed too, but its a game so I just put the items in random hands)

You place the lantern on the floor, and prepare to attack. Ashley shuts herself in the closet, but you can hear it opening because she's checking on the situation. You wait for the monster to open or bash through the door, but nothing happens. You still hear it gurgling and making hideous sounds, but it doesn't do anything. You don't hear footsteps, or see the shadow move, just the noises of its discontent.

What will you do?

i take the shot gun, fill some shells into it, holster it or rip my t-shirt in two halves so i can hang it behind my back, put then the remaining shells in a sack that i created using the other half of my ripped t-shirt and go then to the desk to examine it.

ill lock the door to the next room, check there is no other way of getting inside this room except for the last room (can the monsters climb? if they can i will lock the door to the last room too) and start searching this one more carefully. maybe there is some information in the things that are here. then ill move on to the next room in the same way i did before (check shadows/sounds)

The door busts open, and you hear the screech of the monster, but you don't see it. Suddenly, it bashes through a door across from you, and charges towards you with remarkable speed.

You have very little time to react, what will you do?

(They can climb. They dig their blades into walls and use their feet to ascend on walls.)

You lock the doors, and search the room for supplies. You check the desk, closet, and the floor, but nothing important appears. You put the lantern down near the door, and check for movement. You don't see anything, or hear anything; however, there is a faint noise. Air is gently flowing through the crack from under the door.

What will you do?

You enter the next room, but its not a room. You end up at another hallway, but this one is large, and you see an elevator at the end. The power is out, so you assume there is stairs nearby. You hear a lot of creepy noises however.

What will you do?

The stairs lead up and down, and you decide to go up. You see a sign on the wall reading: F26. You remember that the building is 49 stories high when you used the elevator, before the monsters attacked.

You step behind the door, but the monster was too fast. Before you could react and surprise the monster, it charged into the room, bashing the closet on the other end. Ashley screams and calls for you to help her.
