Nightmare House 2 Released

[ad_hominem]

A new horror-themed Source mod has been released, named Nightmare House 2. I've not played the original or followed any of the development of the sequel, but apparently it has quite a following. Here's what the website has to say about it:

Nightmare House 2 is a free, horror-themed first-person-shooter game, and the direct successor of the first classic horror map pack "Nightmare House". Nightmare House 2 is based on the Source Engine by Valve, also considered a modification (mod) made for Half Life: Episode 2.

The story resumes with the player lost and confused in a hospital known as "Never Lose Hope". With no understanding of how you came to be there, there's only a vague memory of the mysterious, haunting girl from Nightmare House. Soon it will be difficult to determine between a dream and reality. How long will it take you to realize that escape is not an option?

You can find more info, and grab a download of the new mod, over at the We Create Stuff website.

Thanks to Mr. Chop for the heads up.

I knew I forgot something tonight. I've been stalking your forums ever since I read you were testing it. Good, I'll be co-oping that in gmod sometime with a friend.

I loved it, just finished it. Strangely it seemed to have the same layout as another mod I was working on for awhile, also why did you have to kill my friend in the helicopter crash... Nice multi-ending too.

It was really fun. I enjoyed it.

Do not read unless you have beaten the game.

I chose to kill the scientist in the awesome battle where you have to destroy his reactor, anyways after you knock down all four supports it hits the ground and shutsdown. Emily (the girl) appears and the scientist says he is sorry. She then throws him into four walls and explodes him. She then whispers "Thank You" and the credits role. After playing the original right before this I was really really impressed with the quality of number two. Really solid IMO.

This was one of, if not the best mod I have played ever. everything was perfect (IMO) and I think this deserves a spotlight

what sold it for me?

The scene with the creepy surgery maniquens, throughout the whole bit I could not help but think of "blink" from doctor who. and the part with Johnson? priceless AND predictable (yet still surprising), which was what I wanted to see.

but did any of you guys occasionally get bitch-slaped from behind? that happened to me three or four times and it pissed me off...

Very impressive actually. Visually it was sometimes great, with silent hill esque effects and FEAR style set pieces...sometimes the level aesthetic let it down a bit by being a tad generic in places and there were a few too many cliches...

BUTTT it was very fun to play, well executed and clearly alot of effort was put into it. Never once got frustrated. The mannequin bit did indeed creep me out (I believe that was inspired by Condemned?) and the rooms in the dark that got smaller and smaller each time you navigated them...made me jump a few times, so well done!

Neatest mod I've played for in a while and unexpected, with a name like nightmare house heh

@jgoodroad, these "slaps" are a part of a random system I call A.S.S (auto scare system) , every few minutes something random happens. the slaps has a 2/16 chance to happen so I guess you were just unlucky, or the system just hates you lol.

One thing i forgot, The DOOM and Portal references made me laugh

I guess the flashlight flickering was one of them? That thing hit me perfectly a couple of time, was really freaky. What were some of the other random things?
