Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

**Update - Go play the sequel: Dead Reckoning: Halcyon Revelation. either by searching Dead Reckoning, or from my user page <---**.

You wake up in bed, as normal, but can't remember how you got there, you get up and check your journal, apparently you filled it in last night, but none of it feels familiar. Seemingly only one of few people not to have been taken by the mysterious happenings occuring all over your home town, you take it upon yourself to investigate and try to uncover what it is, that's manipulating the world as it is.

Controls:
Movement = Mouse
Interaction/ Fire = Left Click
Flash Light = Z

Hope you enjoy!

**Update** Cheers for the reviews so far people, very useful stuff, sorry to some but the get's a bit graphic heavy towards the end and may lag for some, to turn pages etc, you have to click on the object where it's placed again, I would of made it the page itself, or a button, but I suck at coding, any bugs listed will be looked into, cheers again :)

**Update 2** Front page, hahah no fucking way!!!!!!!, madness, Thanks alot guys, that's all the inspiration I need to get cracking on part 2! I've learnt tonnes from making this one, so my hopes are high that part 2 should be fun =)

Meh...

It wasn't horrible because of the graphics but I was expecting to have to gather items and crack puzzles but no, I see some priest who's hands are "melted" to the altar? WTF? Human flesh will burn not melt. The worse thing in the game was the flashlight. I even resulted to counting how many seconds it took for it to go out completely. It was about 15-20 seconds. Like what the hell? And the enemies were so predictable. Down up left side right side and down again. Geez. And the weird girl in the end, isn't there more of a story of why she's morphed into a ghost or whatever. And this game is predictable.

a bit overrated

how the fuck are you supposed to shoot the crawlers if when the light runs out of battery ( battery runs out in about 1 secs, then you have to wait for it to recharge, wtf good is that, no one would buy one of them :S )anyway, when the light goes out, theres nothin to do but shoot everywhere and hope you hit something :S

way to darck

the screen in way to darck so i cant se what 2 to

Scary as fuck

Wow dude this game is awesome!! I was scared as fuck, honestly thanks alot for the time you spend making this, hope to see part 2 soon

Liked it.

I love point and clicks, this one I really don't know what to say on though. The other point and clicks that are scary, have a more realistic look to them. On this game however the graphics are great, just not great for a scary point and click, though whatever you did use made it possible for more movement in the background images such as the Priest with his hand melted to the alter. I liked that aspect of it and all in all the story seems more in depth the others. Though Some issues.....

I am not going to go into what the others have said, Doom as well had a charging light and people loved that so shut the fuck up about the light. Longer battery, yea we got it on to the important issues.

When reading a book or journal it was extremely annoying that you had to continue to click the original spot you had clicked to even pick the book up in the first place to read the next page. And furthermore had to do the same to click the book away so that you might view the regular scene instead of having a book page plastered to the middle of the screen. This can be avoided with an extra click to the bottom of the page or some sort of cancel button.

If there is something we have all learned, INVENTORY every game is immediately better with an inventory. This game would rocket to the top even more so then it has with an inventory. Some minor adjusts. to the certain clinks I have along with others have pointed out.
