Played with a friend, there seemed to be no problems,
I personally liked this map.
If someone is also going to play with friends, I just warn you that there may be some problems with reading notes, and you can miss some events, because of which you can catch a screamer, whose trigger was touched by a friend who ran away somewhere.

As for errors, I only had one, near the generator at the construction site.

is l4d2 enough or i need l4d1 too ?

I can see why this has 5 stars...

kinda hoping the vanoss crew plays this one in a future gmod scary map video

so many error,where is this resourcepack

9/10
sigan asi we!
keep it up!

After you get on top of one of the buildings in the construction zone by powering on the forklift, you can get softlocked by jumping over the barrier guarding the stairway and sliding down to the first floor. I tried to get back up via the stairway, but it was impossible and I ended up having to noclip to get back up. I'd suggest putting an invisible wall where the barriers are supposed to block the stairway.

The best horror experiences on gmod, but not very scary

Played this 2 years ago and to this day I think this is one of, if not the best horror experiences on gmod

This is hands down THE BEST HORROR MAP I'VE EVER PLAYED!!!
If you love horror and don't want just PNG loud Screamer No.5902 24/7... Then play this map!

Guys go back to the car when you're playing, you can escape early

could you tell me where is the battery because im a scaredy cat

dont dip

Great map

Map is seriously underrated, good job my doods!

fantastic map, you fellos are great devs

I liked it, loved the atomsphere of the map an the fact you avoided the trope of the player being unarmed but it was a bit heavy on the jumpscares for my tastes.

Great great map

@WhiteMilk maybe read discussions of this maps .-.

even l4d1 needed? lots of requirements :/

great map!

This Map was super scary! Really love your work and well done, i can't wait for another map from you guys! (a good scary horror map always come out once a year, and this one is the best!!! )

Nice map. make more plz

Pretty cool map!

@1ntellectual just play it with friends even if a map is made for 1 person play it with friends theres no map that forbids you to not play with friends

@Dirtov you either need l4d1 or l4d2 otherwise the map is gonna be a bunch of errors

Can this be played with some friends?

do i highly need l4d1 content to play this or its just some decals that wouldnt really matter?

This comment will contain spoilers.

This map is up there with gems like Horrorween and Runaway. Upon playing in total darkness late at night, my heart jumped a few times at the meticulously placed scares and atmospheric unease. Speaking of the scares, they were not cheap nor annoying. And between jumpscares are ambient spooks, like the demon's head poking around the corner after you get the mansion entrance key. Another mentionable aspect is how unsettling the map was even though there was almost no total darkness sections. The easter eggs are also incredibly well developed.

Rothchild is a horror map that you can't play just once. I can tell that true effort was put into it. Great job, guys!

@Neo can you tell me where are you seeing the errors? Or send me an email with screenshots? Maybe gmod isn't recognizing a game?

@Tracky Thanks man, it really means a lot, we tried to make it as "realistic" as we could using hammer (we feel more comfortable with other engines, but wanted to use it for nostalgic reasons lol).
We will probably do more projects, maybe smaller ones on Hammer or a commercial release on Unity or UE.
I love the source engine but everything from creating custom stuff to find research of how things work is so convoluted due to its age.



oh and regarding your question, I can't really tell what triggers what, what I will say is that originally there used to be a bus stop near the restaurant, but people said the driver dissappeared...or maybe he just took to much time to arrive? Who knows, city buses suck

I have all it mount but I still see errors

Oh, and the little easter eggs with the gnome and stuff, the CDs, little messages everywhere, that adds so much.

One question tho: What exactly happens when you throw the gnome in the sea? I did that, and heard some sound so something definetley got triggered

@Sephiroth Oh also, nice map design. Good usage of props for filling. Some maps were just WAAAY too huge, the rooms were like 30 meters high, with 3 props inside, not exatruating btw.

Yours felt nice, not too tight, not too wide. The jumpscares were nicely timed, good usage of the monster and some other effects too. The knocking on the freezing room in the restaurant was super scary, all of this was great.

If youre gonna make more horror maps, be sure to keep make storys, that you can follow with the notes piece by piece. The whole "seeing it from different perspectives with notes from different people" was FANTASTIC. 85% of the horror maps have no story, your just there for some reason, and do stuff for some reason. This one made you a visitor, and you slowly found those notes, figuring out by YOURSELF what happened. If you dont find all the notes, you barely have any idea, but this was great.

@sinon no you only need L4D2 since L4D 1 is included with L4D2

Do we need both L4D and L4D2 or is just L4D2 mounted okay for this map? Because, quite frankly, why anyone would actually *buy* L4D when all of the assets are included in L4D2 is...questionable.

@Tracky thanks you for your words man, means a lot :)

Finally, a good horror map again. The last good one I had was ages ago, so many bad and boring ones. This one was very nice. Custom model, a nice story to follow with notes, I loved this.

@serverlegion303 thank you!

@ell the Killer thank you for the kind words! We know a lot could be better and will improve in the future! Next time we will probably use Unity or UE tho, so we don't run into so many "ancient software" issues lol

@feikVizeege thank you!

@zepph La idea original era mucho mas expansiva, pero nos topamos con muchisimos problemas y limitaciones del software, la proxima vez vamos a usar un motor diferente que nos deje trabajar mas liberados :P

No manejo bien los juegos de terror, y siento que este fue hecho para el gusto de todos. No lo digo porque "no de tanto miedo", sino porque el terror es más ambiental haciéndome sentir perseguido e incómodo todo el juego.

Tampoco abusan de los screamers, hay mas jumpscares y siempre aparecen en el momento perfecto para asustarte. El pueblo por otra parte se siente como un pueblo y uno se puede guiar fácilmente por él, evitando perderse. Los objetivos estaban bien marcados, al menos yo siempre supe que tenía que hacer a continuación.

Como jugador me hubiese gustado que el pueblo sea un poco más grande, pero lo que hicieron está buenísimo. Ya lo jugué dos veces y todavía no encontré la susodicha gema o una pista de cómo conseguir el final bueno. Está muy bien logrado.

PD: Me cansé de ver nenas fantasmas, creo que ya me asustaron todas las que habían en el mapa.

Great map. You guys must put a lot of effort into it.

If i ever put together a list of the best horror maps for gmod, this would easily make the top 10 or maybe even the top 5.

If you're looking for critique, I'd say that the true ending might be slightly anti-climactic, but that's only because of how strong some of the other moments in this are.

The best part of this is the brilliant execution of the "looming presence" concept that's maintained by frequent but concise appearances of the spoopy monster and ghosts.

I've seen those type of moments done more robustly in gmod, but perhaps not quite as effectively as you guys achieve here.

why does name in my brain transfers into "rotting child"? please send help

the atmosphere gives me ghos_thunt hell´hotel redux and `hell ´s island gm_haunt vibes, great job

Jumpscares definitely, screamers I never figured out cause my game crashed :P

Any jumpscares or screamers?

That attic part made me genuinely shit myself. I saw that thing and went "oh hell no"

So, what do you do after you throw the gnome into the water?

@Dirtov the map was made to be a Singleplayer experience, i guess you can connect with a friend, but some events may not work, test at your own risk (?

@Conando a man of culture I see

I'm a simple man

I see gnomes
