A terrible snowstorm rages over the village and rumours can be heard of that a caravan sent to get some food has been missing for some time.

Can it be so that you're just about to enter a nightmare even worse than the one you survived two months ago ...?"

** WARNING **: This is a horror game inspired by both the Silent Hill - and Resident Evil series, which means that it contains a lot of graphical violence and disturbing/horrifying scenes. Player discretion is adviced.
** NOTE **: If possible; use the character exported from Surviving Horror 1. But you can use a new character if you like, since you can be updated (both with levels and items) at the start of the mod. Fighter Class is recommended.
If you want to romance Jina; use a Human or Half-Elf Male character. If you want to romance Frogrin; use a Halfling Female for best results regarding animations etc.
** FEATURES **:
*Mysterious and Epic Story line with a lot of plot twists!
*An horrific nightmare-enviroment!
*Scary New Music!
*Two very interactive henchmen with different personalities!
*Relationship points for both henchmen! The more points you get, the better the relationship becomes with that person. Both are ROMANCEABLE.
*Secret henchmen-specific items for each henchman!
*Cooking System! A system which lets you create your own food by combining different items!
*Multiple endings! There are a total of SEVEN different endings. Try to get them all!
*Detailed walkthrough and readme!

FROGRIN ROMANCE FOR FEMALE PC:S ADDED FOR VERSION 2.2!
** Version 2.0 Exclusives **:
* Better henchmen battle AI (Artificial Intelligence) so that they will work better in battles!
* Henchmen no longer make Game Over when they die, instead, they are resurrected in just 20 seconds!

Updated the links.
Thanks Werelynx! :) I'm sad to hear that the old vault has been taken down. Glad I decided to upload to the new vault though! :P
What a massive jump in quality from the first mod!!
Pros
well done.
Just finished the series and yes I know I'm pretty late :P
But nevertheless, I really enjoyed it.
The custom music really made a huge impact on the scenes. It just gives you a better feeling of what's happening.
The 2nd Module really is a huge improvement from the first. Very nice!
I was expecting some twists or so since it is a Horror module and pretty much everything in the horror genre has twists,
but was glad it didn't since the ending I got (Escape) was very satisfying.
10/10
*Rating for Both Modules
Excessive use of custom content leads to an experience that is mostly horrifying aesthetically rather than having any real horror atmosphere.
My engagement dropped steadily despite a strong opening, and I simply quit entirely less than halfway through, the visual clutter and disorganization was simply intolerable.
One particular problem was the heavy emphasis on novel inventory items, which forced me to spend a lot of time looking at inventory rather than engaging with the setting (though the heavy custom content ruined most of the scenes anyway). This was an inexplicable choice that needlessly hindered immersion, especially the "cooking minigame". Utilizing the copious food ingredients pulled me out of the main story for no clear purpose.
Audio was also overused in many areas, going from "foreboding" right past "frightening" to "annoying".
Where Surviving Horror 1 was a solid B-movie experience, the sequel devolves into a high school student film produced by the rugby team at a pool party.
Yes, horrifying. But not in any good way.
No rating, as that would be needlessly discouraging.
