There's far more than 9 events lol, you can check em all out on my youtube channel, just there's 9 physical characters in total that you can meet throughout the map, some more complex to encounter than others.

Maybe someday i'll go back to my roots and make a better horror map, it's not entirely out of the question, just not my priority at the moment, but i'll consider making my new map have a horrorish section further in :P
Thank you for the encouragement! :)

So hold on, by 9 entities do you mean that there's pretty much 9 events, and all of them are with one unique entity each?

Also, sad that you won't deal with horror, it was actually done nicely, I prefer that over "Liminal Maps", it's why I wanted to try this one.
Still, good journey with your maps, they'll be great for sure!

1. There are 9 entities!

2. It's a really niche reference so just noclip on inside, there's no actual way to access it.

3. Liminal maps? Possibly! Horror? Not so much, And I won't be using CSGO or CSS assets any time soon because I wanna truly attempt to make my maps unique.

Interesting, I installed CSGO just so I can give this map a try.
It's very nice, I sure like it a lot, it has a great creepy factor to it. My question is, how many "entities" are there in this map? Looks like there's 3?

Also, how do I get into the "purple room" that looks like a Mario kart course?

Do you have plans to make more maps like these? I'd rather not use CSGO content since it takes up some space.

SHADYMILK? NO WAY! IM GLAD YOU LIKE YOUR APPEARANCE IN THE MAP :D

Great map! Best I've seen in quite a while, many unique ideas here with a welcome appearance of Phillip Jeffries and the melons.

that and also just normal half life assets are very limiting lmao, and I didn't wanna spend like 20 years on assets at the time because It was my first map

cause they're cool right lol :P

fair enough, as long as you can understand WHY I used csgo assets that's understandable

i want to put it on mine but csgo mats is a dealbreaker

I can't imagine this map ever being appealing in a server anyway, "interiors rp" or something idk I like dont play gmod on servers tbh lol

Shame you didn't pack the required csgo content into the map
Means it cant easily go on servers, etc

Not sure if you knew they're there to find, but there's tools and stuff that find the origin of every model, texture, and automatically pack in only the required models.
Not a mapper, but i know they've been made, and they work lol

Yep, every event is survivable, they just don’t tell you what to do because well, why would the monsters want you to know how to escape? Thank you btw! Glad you enjoyed :)

Can you survive ALL of the events? I know that a couple can be survived, the don't move one and the tag event at the endgame. But the others are like glorified kills. Are you meant to die from them? This is an amazing map btw. This one is going on my top ten or so for sure.

thanks the throne

I can't say I've experienced much of anything like this in terms of map design. I'll attempt to describe it as best I can without spoilers!

A labyrinth of paradoxical false comforts, things that seem so dearly familiar yet impossibly distant, layouts and designs you've seen before --- but never could work --- a liminal hellscape of brutal peace in familiar unfamiliarity. Everything is similar: but completely unique. Have you been here before? Is there something following you? Each and every step the encroaching atmosphere plays tricks on your weary mind, causing you to question your own sense of direction. It can't get much worse than getting lost --- at least --- until you realize you're not alone.

I would recommend this as more than a map, but a genuine horror experience --- and one made in garry's mod, of all things.

Oh, and things will kill you. Better hope you can react faster than I can...

They do, I just don't know where to post them lol

do the Entities on the map have any like official names? now that i think about it calling one of them Jeff was probably rude

Thank you for playing! Can't wait to see the art you make on the map :D

Part 2 due to character limit:

At first I was unsure if I would like a map where the entities were actually out to kill you but I actually thought it worked well, I also like how that was acknowledged in a particular scene, I like the idea of game worlds where respawning is a canon/in universe thing and haven’t actually seen that sort of thing done much.

Theres probably more events to find, which I’m sure Thunder can help me with, I would certainly be interested in any lore you have for the map/entities.

Planning to make at least some fanart but maybe a comic or something based on the silly ideas and shenanigans the map gave me.

[Warning: vague spoilers]

Just finished playing through the main “story” (although not entirely sure if that’s the correct word ^^’) and I like what this map did it set out to try something new from your standard liminal horror maps and I think it accomplished that task well.

I’m also very happy to see a map that brings meta themes in its one of my favourite themes and I had yet to see a gmod map which used the awareness that it’s a game in the story and I think it was well done.

If I ever do manage to learn hammer I might take a bit of inspiration since I was also wanting to do something similar.

heads up for anyone downloading this map bring your csgo back to the legacy branch or there will be errors everywhere

pleased to be able to make your day. happy new years <3

And thank you for the review, reading this made my day :)

one of the best liminal space exploration maps on the workshop, up there with greats like oldspaces/voidspaces and places from your dreams. my only trouble with it was getting all the doors to open - I didn't manage to figure out what needed to trigger to get through a few of them.

the mere suggestion of presence of the anomalies greatly increased the tension far beyond most other maps, which was a good choice. they all have unique encounters and designs, my only complaint (which might be a matter of taste) is that getting killed broke the tension that was so skillfully built up through the map. it might be better to have at least a few of them deal smaller but frequent amounts of damage instead?

regardless: the atmosphere and design are by far the standouts here and everything works extremely well. there's a lot I could say about the moment to moment but I've said enough in this mini-review. thanks for your work on this :3

This is my favorite map in gmod. It has so many unique and eye pleasing areas, (Thanks for adding in my own little areas phirst.) even though ive played through it many times I still get lost its like an actual maze. every scare and entity brings something new to the table and I love it. overall its an amazing map. thank you, phirst. For letting me test and see the map throughout its development.

Looking forward to giving this a play when I have a chance.

YOOOOOO
