Nevermind, apparently you can use the crossbow for the underwater crystals after all, but it takes mutliple shots. Some indication of this would be nice as you're taught in all the previous sections to use explosives to destroy them. This is very confusing.

Overall pretty good but the last section (destroying the crystals in Xen) is rather horrible. I'm also stuck at the underwater bit, no clue how to destroy the crystals there as the usual methods don't work underwater.

So yeah, fixing the Xen stuff would definitely make this a good mod :)

Nice little campaign. The platforming sections got me good though.

The best part was the fight with the gargantua

I really enjoyed the first three chapters, but by chapter 5 it got too hard. Admittedly I am also terrible at platform jumping. It is really sad, I can't finish it,

Nice work! Nicely designed maps, good visuals, and helpful voice lines! Xen part was a little bit challenging since there were less health kits - But overall it was good!

this was a nice little hour-long adventure! i was super bored today so it was nice to have this to blast through on a saturday morning

Overall I rate it a 6/10, took me longer than I'd like to finish what was supposed to be a short campaign, but it has its charms

Cons (Part 2)
- Enemy placements are sometimes obnoxious, not very well thought of and sometimes you are forced into your death and you have no more than a split second to react or youll be grinded into meat
- Xen level design is terrible, especially the platforming/jumping on tiny/oddly spaced platforms where if you jump too far or too little you'll fall off, and if you overcorrect when trying to land youll fall off too, it's quite annoying
- One of the final rooms in the final map where you run in the dark you spawn in facing the gargantua, not great, not to mention it's very dark and your flashlight doesnt do squat, it's alot of guessing and hoping you get the right path
