I can finally fully reveal what I've been working on for nearly six months! It's called Among the Innocent, and is the first of a five-part series of games, collectively called the Stricken series, which takes place in a fictional version of the eastern Free State in South Africa, over a period of 50+ years.
Among the Innocent takes place in the early 2000s and plays to a lot of classic horror film tropes, although it's an adventure game at its core. So it focuses on exploration, discovery, solving puzzles and playing at your own pace. There are no crappy flashlights, overly dark interiors or hiding in cupboards :P
I've just released the alpha demo of Among the Innocent. I intend to release the final game in August 2016.
Please feel free to head to the dedicated website
www.stricken-game.com and grab the demo. It's currently only for Windows PC but I intend to have Mac and Linux versions very soon.
Some (slightly older) screenshots!

I liked it but
It locked up when I tried to IKEY my inventory while looking at the upstairs
lock, ALT-F4
to quit, locked up on game load, then new game, unlocked bottom door, couldn't save, quit, main menu said ..saving..(?) I have Intel onboard graphics on 'low' it looked fine, I can't stand contrast. I'll be back to try the maze, wonder why I can't save twice.
