Alrighty then, played it, beat it, now it's time to review it.
Good points (because everyone likes a good ego boost):
-The atmosphere: I must admit that for most of the map, I was at the edge of my chair in fear.
-The lack of blindness: It was such a relief to see a map that didn't just go "Hurr durr look you're blind is scury naow"
-The redstone: Some impressive work there, I was especially impressed with the bloody foot prints walking towards me!
-The texture pack: Just. Wow. Impressive work. The edges of most items were fuzzy, but I can look past it, because boy did it add to my immersion!
And now some negatives (because learning from mistakes is the best way to learn):
Redstone: I know I said this was a possitive, but I noticed a few issues, mainly with events triggering multiple times, such as the dialog upon walking up to the entrance gate.
The scares: The scares were cheap, the jumpscares got me, yeah, but rather than feeling scared, I just felt angry that such a great atmosphere was ruined by a "scary" face popping up with a scream. Seriously, jumpscares aren't scary. Ever. Just annnoying.
The story: Don't get me wrong, I loved the story. To a point. It very quickly became incredibly predictable.
SPOILER WARNING
Especially when I was given one too many chalk pieces, as well as when the girl said "Come meet me by the gate" I knew exactly what was going to happen
Total rating? Easily a 6/10
It was pretty spooky, but predictable story lines and cheap jump scares quickly ruin a good horror.
I Want to play and i Dare myself not to scream once but laugh {Please Reply}
Wow, play it at your own risk you may scream you may laugh. but im sure you are gonna like it (Btw i couldnt reply instant coz i live in turkey. it was night time)

Thank you :D! I really apperciate your critisize. About the scary face. There are gonna be 3 maps , The script is ready , i mean i already finished the map in my head and on the paper. 1 map is going to be a step in to what could be done in minecraft . Atmospher will make the player ready for the second and the third map. You will see there will be a lot more and more terrifying jump scares, chases, and redstone tricks along with the atmospher
(And about the re-appearing text front of the gate. People play in large groups , even tough i told them not to. so everyone has to see the text, i really dont like it but it was my only solution then :)) thanks again
I was enjoying the map, but I found a terrible bug. I slept in one of bed of the bedrooms at the third floor. When I woke up I was inside the ceiling, and then I died from suffocation. When I respawned I was in a completely different place with command blocks and redstone around.
Yeah, Thats the reason i uploaded the v2, i fixed that bug. and the place you woke up is the roof of the building, you can contiue playing just by digging 1 block. , the bed just teleported you up there. sorry about that again
Story: Horror’s aren’t all about the story, you will learn that by watching Horror Movies. Cheap slash-off ones. Killing one by one, and then you being the final victim as the “watcher.” This Horror map had a story to tell, it was pretty basic. A story that became a little predictable at times. I was not shocked by the story, I wasn’t really disappointed by the ending… I just felt that the story had less of an impact than the experience. (Which is not always a bad thing, it can be good.) In this case, I feel the story let the map down. The Horror Map was poorly put together in story-wise. (Sorry…) 4.5/10
Atmosphere: From the start, loading up the map. I felt the need to just walk down the pathway. I loved the blindness effect, but I can’t give you any credit on that. I’ve seen it in too many Horror maps. Again, not to say that it is cheap, or even bad for that matter. I felt that the atmosphere really kicked in, when you went inside the orphanage building. The sense of a little girl out to kill you, it was there. I felt the emotion of Sarah’s presence. I wasn’t too scared, the jump-scares failed to scare me. (Not to say, that it failed as a map. I imagine the jump-scares managed to scare a majority.) Some would say the jump-scares were cheap. Then again, I understand you are limited to sound-effects, when making Horror Maps for Minecraft. 7.5/10
Sounds: Oh my, the sounds were quite daunting. I felt that the heart-beat could be a little better, although the sound of the crying girl, that made me feel bad. It actually made me feel like I was responsible for making “Alice” this way. (I won’t spoil the story, the so-called big reveal.) 5.5/10
Effects: Wow! This is where the map shows its creativity. I mean, sure the structure of the orphanage looks DARK and horrifying in the night with blindness. However! Effects for this map, just amazing! I loved the foot-steps effect, blood prints that looked animated. I felt a little disappointed with how the footsteps just ended. It would be cool to see it in the next Part though. And maybe the footsteps could lead to somewhere. (Which is what I hoped for in the first place.) And you could argue that the blood prints on the walls were “cheap.” Again, I don’t judge a book its cover. The effects that stood out to me were the footprints. Enough said. 8/10
Build: Great builds, I loved the Orphanage building. The interior was interesting… with all the kitchen’s little details. Knife racks and Knives. I loved the plates, it is really creative for a Horror Map. The Orphanage building managed to startle me. I loved how I felt small compared to the tower in-front of me. I loved the darkness, it was a little annoying in some places though… I enjoyed the outside gardens, and the nice little pathway heading towards the entrance. All in all, it was great! 7.5/10
Thanks for making a Horror Map. (If you’re not happy with the review for your map…) Then please contact me, using a PM to me on the forums. I will not change the rating though, sorry…

Thanks you im always ok with good or bad critisizm , you are a tough one ,tho.:D Im aware of some of the things that you mentioned this map will have a following 2 more maps, this was kind of a first step to the story and what could be actually done in minecraft . (You know other horror maps, majority of them are quiet simple and will take half an hour to make.[NOt all of them]) Thanks for your review, ill consider yours while i make the 2. one
Happy to help. I do go Die-Hard when it comes to criticism :3 - Sorry. However, your map managed to impress me
It is ok, i prefer bad reviews to good ones, then i will know what not to do. Btw is there any map that you actually gave 50/50, coz you are tough to impress
Yeah, Thats the reason i uploaded the v2, i fixed that bug. and the place you woke up is the roof of the building, you can contiue playing just by digging 1 block. , the bed just teleported you up there. sorry about that again
i hate who ever wanted me to play this......i think i need to go to mental therapy and get a new pair of pants....but of what i played so far this map is amazing imputting up a video on youtube so feel free to come watch it https://www.youtube.com/CallMeMrDrops
İ changed the link, you can only download v2 now, it is in the post . Map and texture pack normally works fine :/
I have a back-story for the second Orphanage map, if you haven't made it
A cop was patrulling the road until he find the abandon car, he next hears a SCREAM of a man comming from the Orphanage, so he decides to go there, when he enters he sees a man running inside, so he runs to the Orphanage to explore, then the Action starts
