The Vale- Psychological Horror Game
The Vale- Psychological Horror Game
What is "The Vale" ?
What is the extent of fear? This is the question that we love to ask, and one that we strive to answer. The Vale is designed to do exactly that ; to re define Horror.
To drive fear into the player at a Psychological Level is no easy task, however it is one that we are determined to attempt. The Vale uses Unreal Engine 4's advanced tech to give birth to Horror like never before.
With a P.T like gameplay, we plan to use some exciting techniques to fulfill our goals - Dynamic Levels, Dark Moods, Vertical AI, Photorealism and more are some of the many tactics we intend to implement.
For those of you who built up an appetite for True Horror playing P.T , only to have it left unfulfilled due to the recent cancellation of Silent Hills , we hope we may be able to help
The Team
The Vale started off as a small project, less than 5 people working to create a Horror Game that would be remembered for years to come. However, we quickly expanded, and have since had a massive boost in progress. Right now, we have filled nearly all our desired positions, although we do have some critical spots open!
From Concept Artists, to Level Designers, to Composers, The Vale's team is littered with talent and a burning passion for the genre !
Our Progress
The Vale is a relatively young game - only 2 and a half months old. Most of our members have full time jobs, and up until recently we were quite small a team.
However, we have accomplished much in this little time. Our members are driven to deliver, and often work late into the night, despite having work (and at times, exams) to stick to deadlines.
We have already completed the entire Script, all concept images and Level for our Alpha Release. We have also begun setting up a website( Which we plan to take live when we can go public with more of our completed material) and have even made amazing progress with our characters, as displayed below. Keep in mind that these are very early images, and we have since improved on them, and plan to do so even more.
In the coming months we will be updating this thread regularly to show off the content as we create it. Be sure to check back to satisfy your appetite for Horror! We will also be updating our Facebook Page with new content!
Just to get you salivating, here is a short video, thrown together by our Level Designers , just for the fun of it. It is not Alpha footage, but merely something they created for you to get a feel of the mood!

Check out this link for exclusive details regarding The Vale!
BUT, these gifs and and videos look very promising and true to what you guys are aiming for and looking forward on this progress
Goodluck guys!
Nice work thus far good luck.
I want to know more!
Thanks so much for the kind words! It really means a LOT to us!
More story details (and a trailer!) are on the way! For now, all the details are in our Moviepilot Article.
However, we'll constantly update the thread with more info as it comes! You can even check out our Facebook Page for more info!
Thanks again for all the support!
Where will I be able to buy this?
Cant wait to see more from this. Any plans for a kickstarter?
Haha we're really happy that you like it!
Before anybody pays for The Vale, when it is complete, you will be able to play the Alpha version later this year, so that you can get first hand experience with the Horror that we have in store. It's a risky move indeed, but we are more than confident in our work, and are 100% sure that you guys will love it...and hopefully you do!
Kickstarter (or rather Crowdfunding) is definitely something that we are considering. However, whatever funds we plan on taking is not for personal use (living wages while we continue working on The Vale) but rather to expand the team. This means we won't be asking for bloated sums as most campaigns do these days, and will only take the precise amount required to complete The Vale. It's possible that we may not need funds at all, in the event that we earn an Epic Games developer grant.
However, this is something that we haven't confirmed. Right now our #1 Priority is getting a kickass Alpha out there!
It's refreshing to see developers that actually understand they CAN put work into something without an immediate return. The game is looking promising and would be something I'd consider supporting.
Best of luck to you all and I look forward to hearing/seeing more about the Alpha.
Who doesn't love dark, underground places?
