A short map that attempts top scare you. The author claims it “make you jump with fear, and hide behind your chair”. Though I humblely suggest this is only true if you are less than 6 years old. It was made as a tribute to Nightmare House 2.

I’m sorry to say this but I don’t think is worth playing. It didn’t work properly for me and I had to try a few times to get past certain areas. The effects are not scary and the gameplay is not much fun. The ending is too annoying and the design to fragmented.
Overall, I would recommend the author working on something with more detail and less effect. Also, making scary maps is about atmosphere as much as effect, if I am in an area and I don’t feel any apprehension then adding an effect isn’t the solution.
Perhaps I am being too hard but I am lying in bed with the flu and can’t see to say anything nice about it. Sorry. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
There is a bit of worthwhile gameplay for fans with nothing else to do. Actually the mapping looked nice and, for the most part, was without the repetitive textures that plague the really bad maps. It had all the necessary corpses in the vents but none of the ambient sounds and impending doom that make want to “hide behind your chair.” Just that annoying scream.
It is possible to jump over the burning car at the very beginning and your gameplay will end after about 1 minute. But thanks to Philips” screenshots I realized I had missed everything.
After seeing such low ratings, I was maybe hoping that there was something redeemable that people were somehow missing. Not that the screenshots helped that notion.
Not really sure how this is a tribute to Nightmare House 2… considering that the map plays exactly like a short and broken version of the first Nightmare House… and that the author put that its based on the first one in their readme…
Extremely buggy, considering how simple it was as a whole. There’s a high chance you will beat it accidentally quick or put it into a situation where it’s unbeatable.
Also, in screenshot 4, when you get to that room, it’s kind’ve sad that the author didn’t give something like a grenade or a grav gun to play with at that point. That’s just outright ignoring the joy of Havoc physics.
In short, it’s as bad as the current ratings say. Also it’s not scary, and I don’t feel paranoid at any point.
I cannot even begin to describe how much I disliked this map.
I am staggered that an obviously talented mapper has wasted his time with this nonsense.
If you want to knock Zombies on the head, yet again, while having your vision distorted amd/or in the dark, PIN.
Want some fun? Dodge this..
Sorry but here’s nothing more than only for real fans thing to play here, also if this was a tribute to NH2, then I think there’s really few things to tribute in there, I mean almost all the map looks like definitely copy concepts of the origiinal NH release, and I mean, this is the classy full of “pseudo-horror” cliches map u find, I mean crappy sounds really predectible spaces or areas where u know u will be surprised by a mutilated burnt body, or strange vissions, suddenly light areas go to black outs and crappy but not scary sounds begins, etc…. full of things like that so, if u feel like playing darky sisnester maps then u can give thios a try, but don’t expect any Stephen King story or anything like that!
