Dark Reality is a 2D Survival Horror which revolves around 3 storylines, 1 for the lost of the main characters wife, another about an unholy infection from the Dark Age and another about a flood that hit wales 30 years ago, these storylines basically find each other as the game moves on.
The storyline is broken up into 3 parts which eventually find each other:
It has been 3 months since i lost my wife valerie...
She has been in a car accident with a delivery lorry.
The strange thing was...
Her body wasn't found.
Then the second part:
Ancient british mythology tells of an infection that once nearly wiped out the entire population of britain in the dark age.
This infection caused drastic mutations of the flesh and eventually changed how that human acted around others and gave them a thirst for blood.
Some would think these as vampires, but not only do they feed on the blood of others but also the 3 negative emotions of the normal human being.
These 3 emotions are Pain, Fear and Depression.
As they fed they became stronger, When our lord returned and the dark age was over this infection just seemed to dissapear and those that were infected just died.
Some say the infection was banished to the depths of hell but then again some say it just lies dormant underground waiting for something to lift it to the surface.
and here is the third part:
30 years ago a flood hit wales causing deaths on a large scale and some buildings to be destroyed.
5 buildings oddly enough just managed to remain intact, but their interiors badly damaged causing rust, deteriation and cracks in their foundations.
3 of those buildings have been rebuilt and remain today, The Hospital, the lighthouse and 1 of the apartment buildings in the centre of wales.
The Buildings that were effected the most and weren't used anymore are the Warehouse and the Church.
So basically thats it, creepy huh.
Old pictures suck here are some new ones with slightly better graphics:
Its been quite hectic with all this work, i have finished all the weapons for the game, the next part to worry about is the text typing and keeping everything perfectly emotional.
I would like to refer to this game as "Parasite Eve meets Silent Hill", love both of those games, i guess there part of my inspiration.
The Dark Reality project actually came from a nightmare i had when i was 6, but it only focused around dark monsters, so i decided that when i was older i would make something of it.
And here we are, and i'm making it.

I've had some problems recently that have pushed me into moving back to Weston... that means i will no longer have internet.;_;
BUT that does not mean i am giving up on this game, once it is finished i will go to the neared Internet Cafe and upload it, same goes for getting the cutscenes and stuff from Andrew.
Here is a small preview of what the update style will look like.
This room isn't quite finished but i just need to add a few more minor details and the other rooms will then be easy as pie.^D^
The previous look was rather sloppy looking and seemed kind of... too cosy and well rubbish.^D^
I want to keep the creepy look throughout the whole game as the new look retains that small side of scary and saves it until you enter the real nasty areas... if that made any sense whatsoever.
Oh and yeah i know the hovering over an object with the cursor and printscreening is another mistake i won't make again.
I've gone over this with myself and i've decided to redo everything except -Nick-'s movement engine and the main menu, the load and save system and stuff like that.
Things i will be re-doing:
- Graphics (Yeah the current ones suck)
- Some programming
- Andrew (Dynamite) has agreed to re-draw the cutscenes.
- The main character looks too old and i want to put him in a Trenchcoat rather than a trampy jacket.
I have more experience in graphics and programming thanks to some very cool friends so this will help things speed up a bit more.
