I'll bet you didn't know this was originally going to be a Penumbra XO, but after realising making 90% of the mines made up (as I haven't played it) it just wouldn't make much sense.
As Youtube will agree, I've been playing Amnesia for a bit so I'd be able to go into more detail.
Thanks for reading!
Alien In The Dark
Chapter 1
"Don't forget... some things mustn't be forgotten. The shadow hunting me... I must hurry. My name is Daniel, I live in London at... at... Mayfair... What have I done? This is crazy. Don't forget, don't forget. I must stop him. Focus! My name is... is... I am Daniel."
Daniel rubbed his forehead wearily as he recalled the only words he remembered from his former self. Except the note telling him to murder Alexander, of course. He drew a fortifying breath, then lowered himself into the tunnel that the recently-opened trapdoor had revealed.
He eventually emerged from the tunnel and found himself in a corridor. He began to travese it, but the Shadow's roar made him squeeze his eyes shut and cowered briefly. He suddenly felt water filling up his shoes, and he nearly yelped as he opened his eyes to see the entire corridor flooded with water.
He began to trot down the hallway, but he heard splashes. They wern't his. Something was splashing in front of him, coming for him! He ran as fast as he could through the water and climbed onto a crate. The creature made it's way over to him and growled menacingly.
He rubbed his face. This was not fair. It was also going to take awhile.
Lana'Ven nar Tonbay sat up. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was being pulled into some kind of singularity. At first she had assumed a biotic was screwing with her, but now...
She looked around. She definately was not on Omega. That was probably a good thing, but she couldn't decide if this place was any better. The floor...no the entire room was made from stone bricks. Noone builds with stone anymore – was this some kind of historical building? She stood, looking all around her. The doors were made from wood! Wood! She noticed a rather disturbing fountain behind her. It's head was that of an infant, it looked like an asari or human. Come to think of it, it even looked quarian, which was unsettling, it just needed facial markings and – no. She mentally slapped herself. Crossed legs from the base made it look as if someone had fallen asleep and drowned. She took a step back – this gothic decoration and architecture was too creepy for her taste. Under the staircase, there was a wooden chair with a large candlestick. Was it a "brazier"? She couldn't remember. Almost behind the chair was a small wooden chest. She checked left and right before opening it – surprisingly unlocked.
Inside was a jar of black liquid and a small metal cylinder. She examined the jar in the candlelight, but the liquid stayed black. She carefully placed the jar back inside it's chest and closed it. She wandered back over to where she awoke, and nearly brought her hand to her face as she realised there were three exits – one down to the basement(which did not look inviting at all), one to a room with a few large statues in it , and one leading downwards.
Deciding she didn't want to go down, she went left to the statue room. On the opposite end of the room, there was some kind of lift that didn't look safe at all. There were actually two statues in this room, both huge, and of some kind of animal. As she studied the statues, she heard a door slam shut in the hall, and someone running, and then it seemed like the entire castle shook violently as an angry growl sounded...everywhere.
On instinct she crouched in front of the statue while she waited for the rumbling to stop. It receded after a while, so she curiously, and quietly, walked into the large hall.
There was a man there – a human, wearing strange archaic clothing. Some kind of actor? Was that rumbling just sound effects? He looked disheveled and panicked, staring at the basement entrance, which on closer inspection, some kind of thick red web covered. She creeped a little closer to him.
"Um, excuse me? I think I'm lost." she said quietly.
