Fun short map, second room is definitely the hardest. Must have been a trippy dream.

You have to punt the floor which inverts gravity in that area, sending cube up to ceiling button for a few seconds.
I didnt really telegraph this well when I made this map years ago.

Couldn't figure out how to clear the 2nd room. Shooting the cube at the button on the ceiling connected to the door starts a 3 second timer but the door doesn't open.

But thanks for playing either way!

Yeah I realized this later when I made PTSD mod which also has this puzzle, if I can find the old map file I can update to make it more clear (and maybe add that pesky 5th room or more)

Was stuck on the gravity ground plate area for a bit until I realized I had to punt them with the gravity gun to activate them. Maybe putting a gravity symbol or something on them would've made them easier for me to get. lol

Nevertheless, this was interesting and really felt like an otherworldly map.

Hah yeah, its fun going back through all of these too, im almost tempted to add a bit extra to some of them

A classic. Playing all these old RTSL maps takes me back.

great mod the gameplay is just 10 mins but It's very fun recommend it!

Fun little short adventure. Took me a painfully long time to figure out the Portal Chamber Puzzles as I didn't think to try to zap the platform under the cube. Im aware im prob an outlier, but adding some kind of sparking effect, or having you zap another device with the yellow/black outline border could make it a bit less awkward.

I too also relate to having my bathroom flooding and nearly drowning me trying to use a toilet.

I'm really glad to hear that, I've been kind of worried about you because I've seen references to PTSD, but I know how hard it can be to talk about PTSD, it is for me at least, I can't think about mine without panicking

And I know others talking about PTSD can trigger it too, so I've been afraid to say anything about in the comments of maps

I'm just happy to hear you are okay, and I just want you to know someone cares if you ever think no one does

Its ok, living in that bad apartment was not a good experience but things are better now!

The mod, as far as I remember doesnt really have any references to actual PTSD as far as I remember, Only kinda slight hints at trauma from living in the "bad apartment", nor does it make fun of it, but I do kinda regret choosing this name for it later, as some may take it the wrong way which I hope is not the case! Either way thanks for playing my map, please enjoy!

I'm finding out hl2 now has a workshop and then I'm finding out that Etho already made a map for it :))))

also I've been wanting to say this but not wanting to sound rude, I've seen a lot of ptsd references in your maps :( I know how debilitating it is. I have it too, things I wish I could never think about again and I hope u are okay because you are my favorite map creator

good to see you already ontop of this update, etho, always love seeing your work!
Ethosaur  [author] 15 Nov, 2024 @ 7:23pm 
Thanks, I do love making silly and weird stuff after all!
ctwoafiveb 15 Nov, 2024 @ 7:21pm 
No problem either way! Thank you for making them all, I just absolutely love their vibe lol
Ethosaur  [author] 15 Nov, 2024 @ 7:14pm 
PTSD 1 mod most likely yes, but I sadly do not think I can put PTSD 2 on because it uses custom code which I dont think is supported, maybe I can do some hackery to do a "dumbed down" version without the custom code but it may just break a lot of stuff, I will see.

Thanks for playing!

YES, always loved this one. Any chance of the other PTSD mods getting workshop releases?
