Description
Subject: Alyx Vance, Age 19, Female
Affiliation: Human Resistance
Current Assignment: Search and Rescue


You are tasked with locating the origin of a distress signal. It appears to be coming from the abandonded housing developments in the outskirts of Ravenholm. You must locate the signal and any remaining survivors.

Load map "vm3_outskirts"
Merciless Half Life Alyx by Cuser is recommended for a more intense experience!

Salvation is a short, tightly-knit map where I explored various tools and mechanics available in Hammer. It contains a few puzzles, some light combat, and perhaps an easter egg or two. I've been sitting on this for a while (was intended for Vault Maps 3) and decided to just release it. May not be the most groundbreaking but I hope theres some enjoyment to be had! Might have a few bugs, but I tried to playtest as much as I could.

Thanks for the feedback! If I ever decide to revisit this idea I'll definitely expand on it.

Too short. I kind of enjoyed dropping gas cans on the zombies, and the electric dog was scary because they can be quite the pain as they keep reviving the dead. So, thanks for the quick map. I unsubscribed, but I did not down-vote because although way too short, it was still clever enough to be fun. And I read your description, and I could sense that you were on the fence about publishing it.

If you do anything more with it, I REALLY WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE!

I was hoping that there would be a small porch light or something, and I would be afraid to venture away from it because of the zombie hoard. It just wasn't enough to see them out there. I really wanted to engage with that part of the map.

It's worth a try for those that haven't subscribed

Nice work, Sid. Also agree that the atmosphere overall was quite nice especially the sound design. I didn't feel the Ravenholm theme as strongly plus there was an easy way to finish the map without facing the 2nd reviver. Playthrough and feedback on Merciless here: https://youtu.be/Nq1W5c2j5DY

Thank you for updating this map. I really like the atmosphere, very well done and a joy to play.
You absolutely succeeded with the Ravenholm theme.

Just updated the reviver logic and added some environmental cues to help guide the player!
