    "The Inner Sanctum" -a far cry 4 survival horror experience

    "The Inner Sanctum"
    -a far cry 4 survival horror experience
    Created by: Alpha sgt 14


    Inspired from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft and most closely his short story "rats in the walls" I bring to you an experience that most closely resembles a traditional horror game. For the past year, when time permitted, I have been working diligently on this map, trying my best to stray away from the traditional slew of published workings and bring to life a vision I had since the early days of Far Cry 2. With my goal of atmospheric immersion and high production value I present to you guys, "The inner Sanctum."



    The year is 1930 and you play as an unnamed personal detective who was hired while visiting his parents in the nearby town of Dunwich. Your employer, the luminous "Professor Atwood" who teaches at the nearby Miskatonic University, wants you to investigate the mysterious disappearances of children and specifically his niece, Theira, that went missing at the eve of may day.
    When its time for the celebration of spring, it is said that the Arkham citizens instead lock their doors and hide their children in fear of loosing their loved ones. The disappearances date back as far as the origin of the town itself and you are determined to find the root of the cause and hopefully find Theira before it is too late. There is much urgency for the professor is worried about her safety and is also scheduled to go on an expedition in the near future. Atwood hopes to see his niece home safe with his sister before he must leave.

    Along your investigation you are joined by an old friend that proposes to help you solve the disappearances, but you have to decide if he can tag along because his methods are a bit unorthodox. You are also stalled during your investigation due to the pure fact that the town is shrouded in secrecy and the only historical documents refer to cultist upbringings and manuscripts of fabled underground networks, so maybe a bit of help wouldn't hurt.
    Just before you believed that there was no hope everything changed when you received an anonymous tip describing disturbing noises originating deep in the town's outskirts. From help of the locals you are led to an isolated cabin in the woods where an old groundskeeper lived who is said to have the answers that you have so desperately been looking for; though, upon investigation, something terrible had happened a long time before you arrived. From there you, and possibly your partner, must find out what is exactly going on and survive against foes that prey in the darkness.



    The map is still under development and will be released in the coming months. As for an exact date I am unsure due to real-life work constraints. Updates consisting of teaser photos and possible release times will be apart of this forum. Thank you all for reading my short fan made back story and I hope that you guys will stay tuned for what is possibly the hardest map I had to make in my farcry mapping career. I cant make any over-the-top promises but the intended length of the map is a 15-20 minutes playthrough. I can reassure you that the level of custom objects is beyond anything that I have made in the past to make up for what may seem like a short map.

    Feel free to ask questions in the comments and once again thank you all

    Hows things Alpha, are you still in the military.
    Also wondered if you are still on console as well as PC as I picked up a One (gearing up for Halo 5 I guess) and still have the PS4.
    Would be nice to catch up sometime online in a game - shame they can't Remaster Pred or FC2

    Would be nice to see a vid of this map.

    I'm still in the military, actually about to reenlist here soon. I have been okay besides the basic mumbo jumbo and bull crap that the military seems to be full of. haha, anyways, yea ill work on a video. I just wanted to do something basic. I didn't really want to show off all the detailing work until the map is released but making a quick teaser would be too easy.

    Hello everyone, sorry about the silence regarding the future of this map. it is still being worked on and hopefully it will be done soon enough. Here are a few pictures, still teasers, of what i have finished thus far.

    This is a small portion of the large graveyard that you can explore.


    This is a shot of the area behind the cabin in the beginning.


    This is a picture of the main cabin from a different angle.


    Anyways, I have a considerable amount of free time opened to finish this map. once again sorry for the silence and I will work diligently to finish this thing once and for all
