Story/Lore
KNOX Chemicals was a government-funded, unregulated drug and chemical organization founded in 1932 by Adam Knox. KNOX Chemicals was founded as a research organization focused on saving lives while minimizing costs using any methods applicable. They had been a key part in creating cures for and containing spread of notorious diseases and viruses, both animal and human. At least, that's what it was on the surface.

However, KNOX Chemicals had many dark secrets which have been classified for decades since their creation, which has inadvertently led to the organization's downfall. In May of 1994, a catastrophic data breach affected KNOX Chemicals heavily, leaking a lot of their classified documents and causing doubt in the government it was taking its funds from. Once people started to question what KNOX Chemicals had done with all the money they received, the government immediately shut down the company and attempted to cover up the scandal and make it disappear.

Despite the government's attempts, a very select few people still know and actively question those dark secrets of the organization which were not revealed during the data breach. 17 year-old Gabriel Kranz is one of these people.

On a dark, rainy night in 2015, after 2 years of searching, Gabriel finds the real KNOX Chemicals laboratory after looking through hundreds, if not thousands of old classified documents and pictures leaked in the data breach which he acquired through the dark web. He immediately starts planning an expedition into the lost facility to find out the truth for himself. Where will it lead him?

That's your job to find out.

What is Project KNOX?

Project KNOX is a Minecraft Bedrock Edition horror map straight from the brilliant mind behind The Grinner Gates, a well known story-driven horror franchise developed by OffTheBook Studios. With the inclusion of voice acting and specifically tailored and hand-made sound design elements, Project KNOX will be at an incomparable level to the developer's other work.

General Expectations

Project KNOX will truly be a horror map which learns from the successes and failures of those which came before it, which means the finished product will not be a rushed, uncompleted mess which doesn't meet expectations. Speaking of expectations, they are very high for this map since, as mentioned before, it will learn from the successes and failures of horror franchises such as The Sculk Labs and The Grinner Gates, with both of these franchises having their own unique ways of captivating the player.

Environment Expectations

Project KNOX's environment and ambience will be at an unrivalled level compared to its developer's previous work. Every single detail in the map's environments and levels will be thought-out and put there for a reason, whether it be for additional lore exposure or simply decoration, and details like this will be abundant across the map and its different environments.

Gameplay Expectations

Project KNOX will be made with immersion and horror in its best interests, which will surely result in a very immersive and hopefully frightening, yet story-driven experience. Story and lore exposition will be a crucial part in this map's progression, so you really need to remember quite a lot of story details in order to progress meaningfully through the map, as intended by the developer. A lot can be done in terms of creating different antagonists and threats, since the initially revealed part of the lore is so cryptic and unexplained, therefore opening up many, many possibilities and giving the developer a lot of freedom in terms of what to add and when.

Minor updates to the map itself and new area and screenshot added.

Sorry that there hasn't been much progress. Not much time to do anything in real life, since I have a lot of events happening specifically now. Progress is still being made, just at a slower pace. This map is not going to be abandoned.
