Birds need their personal toilet too... LOL! Thanks for playing and the funny comment, vallibus.

Geez Louise! It took me a long time figure out the shed puzzle. But once again, I learned an important lesson from one of your maps. By the way, I felt a little nervous standing at the bottom of the well under that crow.

The map optimization isn't to good especially for a player that has a weak computer. I can see a player having issues with this map too if their portal graphic settings is set (way) below the max settings but if your graphic settings is at its max then like I said it's the map optimization that's crashing your game. Unfortunately this map will never get another update because I stopped playing portal over a year ago.

Kept crashing every time I tried to put the stand in front of the laser.

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks.

Who this is good and it was freaky how the music started to sound scary when you go up into the attic!

Freaking amazing. Glitchy, due to the engine, but very atmospheric and creative.

ok then. and yes i mean co-op. i would like to play it with a friend.
Brave  [author] 27 Jun, 2017 @ 12:51pm 
Multiplayer as in co-op so you can play with a friend? I've never made a hammer co-op map before. I would have to look into it. Also changes would have to be made to the map and puzzles for a two player.
Gorp, Lord of Morp 27 Jun, 2017 @ 10:56am 
can this be multiplayer?

thx :D

Strange haven 2-recovery is the sequel, but it's a hard map. You can also try House sitters which is similiar to this map if you like to check it out. Just browse my workshop items to find those maps. Thanks for visiting!

Is there going to be a sequal to this map?
Johannes-im-Dampf 3 Oct, 2016 @ 2:32pm 
Very nice and challanging one.
kwinten 27 Apr, 2016 @ 5:12pm 
All right ! I forced the panel to keep the same angle with "force direction of motion", and because it is large, we can't push it to make it fall
Cheers
Brave  [author] 27 Apr, 2016 @ 4:59pm 
@kwinten. I downloaded the zipped up files that you link. Thanks for sharing your moveable portable panel. I'll have a look see next time I launch hammer.
kwinten 27 Apr, 2016 @ 7:29am 
I really enjoyed this one ! The idea is excellent !!
But still have the problem with the moveable panel..
I shared a beginning of a big release of all my custom, i will finish it later, the moveable_wall is named "Panneau" (french equivalent)

I only needed to use hint 1 :) Good first hammer map. I like the tree effects and snow outside the house.

Fun map I likey, and cake to. :)
otahitie 6 Apr, 2015 @ 4:12pm 
very difficult to keep the pannel in right position ( bug ? )
feirich 28 Jan, 2015 @ 4:24pm 
Loved it until... well... the ending! All that work, just to DIE! Here's a one-fingered SOLUTE!
cesinhA 25 Jan, 2015 @ 10:50am 
Wow, well thought out your test chamber, the end is very fair for the guinea pigs! : D
Brave  [author] 23 Dec, 2014 @ 6:38am 
@somegmodman111, thank you.
During making this map there was a lot of experimentation with hammer, and it was cool how I could link the toilet to the floor and joists to a push of a button revealing the basement.
If it make sense to you, you could always look at it this way, the leaking toilet base overtime rotted out the floor and joists until one day that last button push made it collapse.

Thanks VIPER for visiting my workshop and playing my map! I'm glad you liked it.
OfficialVirus 23 Dec, 2014 @ 3:06am 
This map is brilliant! But I dont understand how flushing the toilet will get you into the basement .
viperbjw2 2 Dec, 2014 @ 10:59am 
Cool map, I figured everything out by myself except for the movable pannel...
Paltoquet 24 Nov, 2014 @ 9:38am 
yes adore this map but i can't finish her if i don't play with noclip i can't find the cube :) also i cheat but i repeat it I ADORE THIS MAP :)
Paltoquet 23 Nov, 2014 @ 6:13am 
Very good map but it's very strange :)
Swoffle 1 Nov, 2014 @ 6:16am 
@Brave, Ahh that explains. The ending doesn't really bother me but I'll be sure to check out the sequel!
Brave  [author] 1 Nov, 2014 @ 5:44am 
@aeidoab, thanks for playing, and leaving a comment!
You're probably the 1st to asked the question about the ending to this map, and why it ends that way.
The reason is I wanted a different ending than your typical PETI elevator rides. I wanted the player to be murdered by and entity that resides within! If the ending bothers you, you can always play the sequel and get some redemption!
I think some of the portal players that played this map had mixed feelings about the way it ends so I decided to make a continuation to Strange Haven which is listed in my description!
Swoffle 1 Nov, 2014 @ 5:10am 
Nice map! Great job on the map. It's awesome. But I didn't quite understand the ending. What's up with it?
weatherman115 27 Sep, 2014 @ 9:06am 
XD That video tho.
Big Floppa 22 Sep, 2014 @ 10:32pm

Brave  [author] 19 Sep, 2014 @ 7:43am 
@nikita74ru , У меня есть видео YouTube размещены, и описание намекает, чтобы помочь игроку решить шаг головоломки за шагом.
Big Floppa 18 Sep, 2014 @ 8:03am 
где куб !
weatherman115 7 Sep, 2014 @ 1:12pm 
Ah.
Brave  [author] 7 Sep, 2014 @ 1:05pm 
@weatherman115, the dummy is there to disturb the player, nothing more!
weatherman115 7 Sep, 2014 @ 11:58am 
Also, what's up with the dummy?
weatherman115 7 Sep, 2014 @ 11:55am 
DANGIT CUBE
LET
ME
PICK
YOU
UP
(In other words, I can't pick up the cube in the basement. A little help?
Brave  [author] 16 Aug, 2014 @ 7:26am 
@|SG3M| MercuryGamer, lasers deflect in a different direction using the reflection gel, and it can be found in the basement under the stairs next to the cube floor botton that activates it!
TheGoldNinja101 15 Aug, 2014 @ 5:56pm 
Not Thingwithportals home, I can't find it.
TheGoldNinja101 15 Aug, 2014 @ 5:56pm 
No I didn't removed the cake. I do not have the cake when I first downloaded the Authoring tools for portal 2. Where is a cake download?
Mercury 15 Aug, 2014 @ 8:20am 
what is the reflection gel and where is it?
TheGoldNinja101 14 Aug, 2014 @ 7:50pm 
How to get cake model?
Test Chamber Junkie 12 Aug, 2014 @ 8:38am 
Thanks! I really did have a lot of fun in this map and I think it shows in the video. The time you invested into this map has payed off in my opinion!
Brave  [author] 12 Aug, 2014 @ 6:13am 
Thank you TCJ for your time playing and making a youtube video for this map, and i'm glad you liked this map, also I added it with your workshop page in my description!
You asked how much time spent making this map and why I never mention this map to you?
1st answer: this map took around 5 weeks off/online to make, about 3 hundred hrs. not including periodic updates!
2nd answer: I noticed you took some time off from playing portal and making videos, so I didn't want to mention it until you got back playing portal again, but you did find your way over here before I could say anything about this map!

Phenomenal work! Had so much fun! Recorded blind playthrough and made an episode of it! Brave - Strange haven
