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 open the door, and you see a hallway, with rooms on each side of it. The air that you felt coming from under the door was just a draft. You see an elevator at the end, and you see a sign on the wall that says: F29.

i continue going up, hoping i will find out what these creatures are and why they are here. if i find a floor where are no monsters i will look and search clues in every room to find out what is going on in this building. if i can find a light flash or another lamp i will combine the batteries with the light flash or the lamp oil with my lamp. but before i do all of that i check my shot gun in case i forgot to load it and if it is unloaded, i load it so i can surprise any monster that wants to surprise me.

You go up one floor, and you look and listen for monsters, but there are no signs of any. You look down the hallway , and there are four rooms on the left side, and four on the right. You check the eight rooms, and you find:

3 batteries
paperwork
Staplers
Paper weights
Clipboards
Coffee cups
Socks (for some reason)
and deodorant.

What will you take?

Okay, lets redo this then. I may have gotten off track

You prepare for the monster, and Ashley takes her position behind you. The monster claws at the door, but after a couple of seconds, it gives up. You hear it grunting within the room.

Ashley shakes off the fear for a little, and manages to speak. "Lets get the hell out of here Mort. I'm sick of this building. It claimed two of our friends lives." she whispers.

That's right... Jim and Corbis. Corbis was transformed into one of the monsters, and killed Jim, and you have to put Corbis down... or what was left of him.

i take the batteries, they will be handy as soon as i find a light flash. i examine the socks and the papers, but instead of waisting matches or lamp oil i search a window so i can see what day time it is too. then i search some food, if i have to stay longer in this building i want not to die of hunger or thirst.

You lock the doors, and watch for shadows. You see none, so you enter. You see a desk, closet, and another door leading to another new room.

You life open a window, and moonlight shines through the window, slightly illuminating the room.

The papers are just normal office papers, and the socks stink. Nothing special about any of this.

s there not a flash light in this building?

If there was a flash light, then you would have found one, bro. The batteries could be for anything.

You go to the ground floor, and you seek out the exit. You look for any monsters on the bottom floor, and you don't see any, but you smell rotten flesh, and the scent is extremely strong. After walking down all of those stairs, you got sweaty and dehydrated and your tired. You see a lobby, and a receptionist desk right across from the front doors. The stench gets stronger as you approach the desk. Moonlight is shining in from the glass doors, and is illuminating the desk. You can see blood scattered across the desk as you skim closer and closer. Eventually, you reach the door without alarming any monsters if there were any. Will you leave or stay and search?

You find a water fountain. Luckily, the water is still running in the building. You drink some, and you feel better.

You want to rest, but where will you rest?
