I think this was rather boring experience. Map is huge, but lots of empty rooms/hallways. Some combat, some wacky mapping (i was hoping more like PTSD mod style, but far from that).
**/*****
This is one of those maps that are made trippy for the sake of being trippy. I would just say that you should probably avoid it because it won’t give you any interesting experience.
Gameplay is boring. In the first half of the map, it’s just linear corridors with occasional enemy spam. Second half boils down to the glorified «car battery puzzle», where you are wandering in a huge place with no sense of scale or direction in search of hidden batteries.
The only good thing can be visuals in SOME places. But most of the map’s parts look like they are in beta stage: blocky with janky textures.

This is the 1st HL2 map I play in many, many months, so despite this is indeed a cumbersome map at some points, I overall enjoyed it.
For me, these maps are much like “The Great Forever Tomorrow” modding style. I mean those where you have combat in surrealistic-funky scenarios, where the confusion is the rule rather than the exception. So don’t expect a more coherent or logical plot or even a story in this one.
That being said, I guess this is an OK Play it Later.

ohh i love these kinds of maps! i’ve played some garry’s mod maps that also portray this sort of weird abstract feeling, notably the Grimgrvy Experience’s 3 maps. These kinds of maps are always really exciting to play because you never know what you’re gonna come across
gameplay was a little more on the boring side, but i had a good enough time. the visuals were pretty underwhelming too. overall the map isnt too bad, it could just be improved a bit. i hope to see more from this guy

2/5 I’ve been playing half life mods for a long time and this is the first time I’ve come across such long corridors and unnecessary rooms, but the puzzle was fine, but if it weren’t for so many unnecessary rooms and wars, my score would be higher.

The only good thing about this is the visuals, kind of like the “Paranoia” series from Half-Life 2. The rest are bland and lifeless and there’s not much to say about the combat. The only good part is finding the battery to progress. That task makes you explore around the map and that’s about it.
I really like this map!

What the hell did I just play? It’s… abstract at best. Boring at worst.
I got lost many times. Not much to say other than too many doors and the weirdest collaboration of themes mashed together.
