A map this good SHOULD NOT be a hard find. For some reason, this map gave me several minor heart attacks and I don't know if i'm getting too old to play this shit but this map totally freaked me out. Anyway I'm posting this here with a warning that it's not for the faint of heart. For those with photosensitive epilepsy or are simply sensitive to flashing lights and are planning to play the level be advised the strobe lights may trigger seizures. Now I'm off to change my Depends. Damn it Loke, amazing map!

Thanks this level is brilliant! Really glad I played it. Amazing texture work and also use of FOG. Detail is superb.

I'm glad this map gets its own thread, I recently played it and it's indeed fantastic! I agree that the atmosphere feels really tense, which is helped by the soundtrack and the great usage of atmospheric lightning. The side story with the blue clone is a nice extra, also the design work is really really good. Much recommended!

I really liked the slow build up, Quite enjoyed the area with no enemies. Yes the atmosphere is really brilliant.

I've made a short write-up after playing the map a few months ago - here. Agree with you guys, it's a great and very "fresh" map. This reminds me though, I should play a lot more of Loke's older maps which I've never tried...

If you're going to write the odd review for maps, why don't you write the review on my site rather than having them get lost in the forums. Just saying, PM me if you're interested! =)
