(BLOOD) The Dreamwell Enigma: Barlington Estate

Posted by quakis on 2016/10/19 20:59:38

Story
Explore Master Barlington's estate, also home to his exclusive gentlemen's club including some prominent figures of the area, owners of influential businesses; Cobbleson & Son's Crimson Brewery, Leroux's M�daillon Bathhouse, Ashford's Bank and Trust, etc. Strange activities have been taking place at the estate and these men are likely involved. Rumours also spread about a new religious cult forming and gossip regarding Barlington's mental health as of late. Sudden disappearances have been reported surrounding the area, but no concrete evidence pointing to the club itself. What secrets are they hiding? Break inside, rummage around, seek documents and discover the truth, no matter how far you must dig to find it.

Requires an up to date copy of BLOOD with either Plasma Pak expansion installed or the One Unit Whole Blood package. GOG's release works well.

I am so waiting for BloodXL http://xlengine.com/ but who knows, could be months or years :/

GOG/DosBox Blood should run ok with reasonable resolution settings etc, checked the guides on GOG forums etc ?

One Unit Whole Blood runs fine on an 8 (?) years old Core2Duo.

Played Through It

found 0 secrets :(

good stuff, great level of detail, especially considering how to make certain things in build engine

loved the stuff like the lever switch suspended on a chain, made out of wall and floor sprites obviously, but looks awesome

cool puzzle with the symbols too.

was expecting some boss at the end, but was just some mobs and end-level switch.

one special mention is the sloped sector-over-sector (or whatever it's called) trapdoor. i don't think i've ever saw one like that in all the official levels from any of the well-known four build engine games.

Thanks For Playing!

Decided against having a boss or large fight at the end considering I have plans for later levels from this point forward, wanted to stick with a slower pace here before things pick up in the next one.

You might also enjoy my Duke3D release from last year; http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=61229

Cheers!

Amazing Map

Really loved this, proper halloween treat!

The only thing I struggled with was the symbol puzzle. I was reading all the information for clues. I then tried to put them in the order that I came across them.... then I cheated by looking at the forum post on duke4

Because it's not Blood.

Good Map Quakis

Very enjoyable with some high quality architecture and design. The puzzle wasn't too hard to figure out and I liked the use of dynamite cultists who more often than not killed themselves and their colleagues. The ending felt a bit anticlimactic though.
