Description
This is a sample from "Psycho Soma, Chapter 1" that I have developed; however, I thought I would release this short section of the game for players to try. It is technically in "beta", although most of the major developments are complete. In the actual campaign, there will be numerous differences, as this is only a small part of the actual dungeon that has been developed, and I have truncated it to fit the needs of this test module. The entire campaign "Psycho Soma, Chapter 1" will hopefully be released shortly.
This game is intended for Adult Audiences!
This truncated version will begin you at level 2, and you can expect to reach level 4 -5 before completion.
The Game assumes that you are a MAGE, but it is likely possible for other classes as well.
///////////////////////////////
Installation:
(These files can be unzipped with utilities like winrar)
1. Download the RWS ALL in One (1.0) hak from here on the Vaults if you do not already have it. The Link is: Link a. rws_all_in_one.rar
b. rws_all_in_one_2da.rar
Once downloaded, extract these two haks into your mydocuments\neverwinter nights2\hak folder.
2. Download helltest.zip, which is contained below, and extract it into your hak folder also. (It makes use of displacer beasts, camb's splatter pack, and scorpions, among a few other things).
3. Download "music_maltest.zip" and extract the contents (but not the folder itself) to mydocuments\neverwinter nights 2\music. (thank you, A. Yakaoma)
4. Download "Hell_mod.zip", which is the module. Extract it (but not the folder itself) to your mydocuments\neverwinter nights 2\modules.
5. If you have outside materials in your override folder, you may need to relocate that material elsewhere temporarily while playing this module.
6. Load the game (new game, modules); it will be listed as HELL_TEST.

This sample picks up 'in media res' - in the full campaign, you will already have done a few things before coming here, and some of the story will have been set forth already. For the purposes of the story, the game interprets your character as a female, no matter what your gender (sorry, guys out there!).
Helpful Hints:
(1) It is normal for you to take continuous damage while in this dungeon. Obviously some means of surviving this process are contained inside the dungeon. It is also normal that you will be punished violently for using spells such as light and invisibility. There is no way to avoid this.
(2) This section of the dungeon mostly requires FIRST PERSON perspective - otherwise, you will see only 'black'. This is on purpose.
(3) There are two main halves of the dungeon, which largely mirror each other. Very often, making a change on one side of the dungeon alters something on the mirrored half!
(4) I have made use of occasional illusionary walls - be on the lookout!
(5) As you receive items, inspect them. Often they will allow passage through previously blockaded areas, and also, tend to have powers that you can use to make your journey easier.
(6) The Z Key is your friend in dark places - holding it down will highlight any usable objects, like containers or doors.
(7) The dungeon is designed to be rather difficult, and while there is no technical resting allowed, there are a few spots that you can rest; they require certain items called 'curriculum vitae' which can be used to activate designated areas.
(8) No FaQ exists at this time, although if there is a need for one, or enough interest, I might prepare one. Feedback is welcomed and desired. [email protected].
