Hi people and happy new year and merry christmas and so on!

Yes, the time has come: the first release of Deserted Documents! DD v0.1 is a fully playable version, but it's not perfect yet, that's why it's called "v0.1": even though the gameplay has been completed, there might be (let's say 'are') still some bugs or glitches in the game. As I will update the game, I will fix these and tweak gameplay a little (add options, change certain things to make the game more challenging, decreasing the file size (64,15 MB obviously is too big), etc.) and will eventually reach v1.0, after which the game has been completed (unlike ToW, which will keep being updated to add things, fix bugs, etc.). Because I have been working only on this game the last couple of weeks, I did not complete a new update for ToW yet, but as I said before, since ideas are running out, updating will slow down. Anyway, about this game: I explained the storyline in my last post, so now I will stick to the controls and the mechanics.

First, the controls: left click when watching the intro to skip it, use the arrow keys to walk, the mouse to look aroung and hold shift to run. You can pick up the documents by standing near one and pressing the left mouse button. To switch off your flashlight (to preserve the battery), right click. You can also press escape to pause the game, providing you're not fainting.

That brings me to the mechanics: you can only run for a certain period of time before getting tired and having to stop running. You will recover from being tired faster when you're standing still. Also, your flashlight's battery won't last for very long, switching it off causes the battery to stop being drained. If you encounter the ghost that's hunting you, looking at him for too long will cause you to (start) faint(ing). The game seems simple: collect all nine documents and then leave without fainting, but since the building it quite large and something is hunting you, it can be very tricky. The documents appear on random locations, so don't try to trust your memory if you've played the game before.

The download link is at the "Game Download Links" section.
I'll see you around!

Update: I noticed a bug making the game act strange on different display resolutions. I removed the download link until the bug is fixed.
