Description:	You have been hired by Emily Hartwood, heiress to the cursed Derceto mansion, to search the grounds for the cause of the late Jeremy Hartwood's mysterious suicide. Ms. Hartwood believes the ancient house hides a terrible secret that drove her father mad. You decide to begin your search in the dusty old attic and work your way down from there, but as you climb the attic stairs a cold sense of dread washes over you -- several floors below you hear the slam of the front doors as they trap you inside. Something knows you're here. An unnatural storm brews outside as you clutch the grip of your pistol with a sweaty hand. Solving the Hartwood mystery may mean more than a mere paycheck now: it means the difference between life...and whatever ghastly fate Jeremy killed himself to avoid. This is a reproduction of the mansion from the original Alone in the Dark, courtesy of Doom Builder 2.

Reviews:

Anonymous	Nope, the closest I got is the IOS teeth area. No exit? ~1/5 for some good made areas with detail. Maybe detailed caverns with random slopes on ceilingss and floors?	x
Zalewa	I felt tormented by this.	x
Anonymous	Map layout is quite rectangular and a bit cramped, but further not bad. Texture use is a bit spare but consistent, decoration is quite good. Gameplay is not good: the monster popups / teleports soon gets boring, monsters in the 'terraces' can shoot but the areas cannot be visited - which feels unnatural. After grabbing the yellow key I took the nearest not yet opened door - and got killed instantly. This is a no-go nowadays. 2/5 because of the gameplay.	x
joe-ilya	This is very buggy and unfinished but at least it's fun and looks great at times.	x
Anonymous	Doesn't resemble the original Derceto. Try harder.	x
Anonymous	hell yea	x
