Silent Scream: Sacramentum
This is an upcoming game, and this is mostly house-made. There are no special effects, AMVs or stuff like that. Yet, I'd like to thank to everyone who has contributed this game in any way.
Snyway, let's get on the subject.
---------------
Storyline:
Before creation of Space and Time God (in game I call him Yhvh) was alone in the universe. He created angels and gave them freedom. But still, not everyone was happy.
Cthah (Cthulhu, Kutulu, Satan, call him anyway you like), one of Yhvh's most trusted angels started a war against the Creator, claiming that he fights for freedom, but he was owerpowered and judged. And he wasn't only one...
Titans, independent race, helped daemons (that's the name of rebelled angel's fraction, later called simply demons) - they gave them shelter in the Avalon before daemons attacked Yhvh.
Both of them were punished - daemons were banished in Realm of Hell, and Titans were banished in mortals realm. But daemons never accepted their fate... And that's when the War of the First begun.
Titans were different, they accepted their punishment, which was life itself.
To live means to be hurt...
We, immortal ones, walked the Earth when man was still young, and we still walk. We saw first death, first cry, first hunger, first loneliness... We saw first pain...
They say that time can heal all wounds, and that's only half truth. Time healed our wounds, but it also gave us hearts cold as stone. After hundreds of years one simply can't cry, there are no more tears... Now, even surrounded by millions of humans, we're alone...
To live means to be hurt...
although an independent race titans also joined the War. Sometimes that War would even affect humans... (Crusader's war, 2nd World War...). And although demons are in Hell, that doesn't mean that they don't have anyone outside.
T.C.O.S. or Tripple Council Of Six - masons dedicated to resurecting Unholy Sixtinity (Cthah, Lucifuge, Mephisto, Astaroth, Lilith & Babalon) oftencreated the chaos among humans, and as the time passed they even controlled kingdoms.
And, as it is probably obvious, all that is in the way of daemons second rising is human's race. But humans aren't helpless...
The Blade, first sword ever forged, lies somewhere in the forgotten woods. Noone could find it, but that doesn't mean that you can't be the first one.
As Terminus you start searching for humans only ray of hope... Or is it so? When you find it your king gets so excited that he thinks you can now beat Sixtinity all by yourself (Blade is first sword, older then human race... probably forged by some god). So the war begins, all humans against daemons... you wield the Blade, and yet you fail. Human armies are scattered and you get trapped by daemons. Some would say that there's no more hope...

Silent Scream: Sacramentum is first of three books ((other ones are Legacy of Cthah and Post Mortum) soon I'm going to publish these books in Croatia, and if all goes well they might even be translated) and I tried even creating game based on them.
Many said that war between Heaven and Hell is already getting boring, almost everyone wannabe satan-fllower or something is trying to make his own story or thing like that... But still, it's not the theme that makes my story original. What makes my story different is the way it is written. This time there's no some Superman that is going to find some ultimate blade and kick Satan's ass in some 7th dimension. There IS search for the Blade, but that's far from solution for the War...
And, btw, daemons aren't simply evil. Noone is, everyone has it's own reasons. And what's daemons reason for the war? Well, it's simple - wish for freedom. They lived with Yhvh and Cthah believed that he's something like his slave... so he starts a war and gets punished. But does that make God an evil person? Wait for the game to be finished and see for yourself... all that I can say for now is that noone is completely black or completely white...
------------------
Anyway, it's time fr the Character Sheet now:
TerminusAlthough game is happening in medieval this guy isn't wearing medieval clothing... Strange, don't you think so? He's the man that can talk a lot and you still wouldn't know anything about him. All that is known is that he knows suprisingly lot about War of the First and that he joined his strenght with the forces of Finerio.
And yes, he's the suicidal maniac... Sometimes he believes that he lived maybe a bit too long, so he's always in the front lines (you might even know why, if you read the text above carefuly).
MichaelGeneral of Finerio's army. He meets Terminus when King's treasury get's raided by some demon, and some time later he gets to know that Terminus is Blade's new owner. He's quite stubborn and he joins the War to revenge loss of his ex-master.
RediakkiDemoness. She meets Terminus and Michael when human's and demonic race confronts. At first their enemy she gets to know full truth behind the War when demons attack her, too. Very loyal and devoted, once she joins the party she's ready to die for them.
There are lot more characters and some are secret... Not everything looks the same before some happening and after it, so it's always worth to talk to everyone everytime.

Now, the intro:
"
This is my story, story about war, about hatred and pain. Story about love, peace and hope...
Story about humans - fragile, and yet strong. Story about courage... And finaly, story about the past... About the times when one could rise to the legend, and give hope to everyone... Let me tell you that story.
Avalon. City of titans, angels and demons. Eternal city...
This is where Cthah's betrayal took place. He, caliming that he fights for freedom, led an army against Yhvh, the Creator.
Heaven burned. Air was full of stench. It smelled by blood... And betrayal. But then, Cthah was captured, and Yhvh sentenced him, banishing him to Hell.
Even now he rules in Hell with his brethren: Lucifuge, Astaroth, Belzebub, Lilith and Babalon. And Hell never sleeps... Every day they are planning to get their freedom and to avenge for their banishment. Only thing that stands on their way... is mortal's realm.
But there's Rainmaker's legend. It is said that one will bring rain. There will be sorrow, and tears will fall. And that tears will be the ones of sadness. Sadness that will redeme all sins. Sadness that will cleanse all the corruption... But before every sadness there is anger.
Before every peace and silence there are anger and scream...
Before eternal peace and silence there is silent scream..."
------------
I mentioned Rainaker's legend. Rain here is supposed to be something that cleanses, tears... And noone knows who could that Rainmaker be, is he a human, demon, angel or a titan. Noonw doesn't even know if he's one person, or an army, or even does he exist... He is simply figure, savior...
Anyway, that's all for now, tomorrow I'll add some more screenshots
