the dead are singing to me

@jh7thesped to be fair I definitely wasn't entirely sober while making it lmaooo

playing this while high was a very bad idea :/

@NormDeguere hey I appreciate it :D

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life. TIC TOC.'

this map is so fire

your butthole is safe.... for now......

@[PMC] Scald unfortunately I'm not sure there's a lot of room on the island itself, and with all the teleports a fully robust navmesh probably isn't in the cards. I do have a new map that's probably a couple weeks from completion that's going to have a full-blooded navmesh from the start though!

@BigTimeDiamond 🥰

I love this map

@MadlessHatter thank you very much! I got sucked into control hard a couple years ago now and recently played through the final draft in alan wake 2, so I had remedy-verse stuff on the brain lmao

I can't wait for firebreak and control 2 oh my godddd

Actually, a lot of the architecture reminds me of the Oldest House. Great work.

Goated for referencing the best game ever. (Control)

@Lynch gottttem, but actually thank you so much I appreciate it! 😁

That screamer scared the shit out of me, great map!

@Xenamta lmaooooo 😁

Just a thought but someone should turn this into a backrooms level

@aussie-_ The latest map has the animated texture packed in it, I've got it open on my steam deck right now which is a clean install and doesn't show a missing texture unfortunately.

when i triggered the screamer, it displayed a missing texture
is there a way to fix it?

@kudalev you're all good man! 😁

Okay, sorry. I was just unhappy yesterday that I ran into a screamer again. (Although to be honest I guessed that it might be there and turned off the sound)

@kudalev lmao there is a warning right at the top of the description 😂

And I'm pretty sure there's only one jumpscare, it's just used three times in one location. I usually avoid sound-based scares but the scratch jumpscare from alan wake 2 was something that fit in pretty well with the Oceanview motel and the writer's room attached to it

I do like adding in slightly unnerving things to maps though, feels very nostalgic to the gmod maps I played when I was a kid 😁

Hello, this is a review of this "wonderful" map: although it apparently does not position itself as a horror, it has some of its elements. For example: oppressive atmosphere, creepy sounds, screamers in absolutely unnecessary places.

The screamers are located in different parts of the map and require some actions to activate them.

P.S. to the author of the map:
You freak, you lied to me about the screamers, why the hell did you put them here? I hope you burn in hell.

@Luna <3 I've posted elsewhere but it's a reference to the game(s) that motel and the writers room come from. It's also a method of unstucking players that can't figure out the puzzle. Sorry if it ruined your comfy lmao

Cheap jumpscare at motel, no idea what triggers it, but I closed the map instantly. Not cool.

@kudalev there's only one spot on the map that has any sort of real jumpscare, mostly as a means of unsticking the player if they get stuck in the Motel and can't figure out the puzzle. There is a black box that contains the logic and bits for the scare that will trigger if you noclip into it though lmao

I was studying this map. And a screamer flew at me, that's how it should be, right?

@Eggo1423 you're neat! 😁

this is neat :D

@StrawWagen I appreciate it, and I totally get that too!

Great map, not a fan of jumpscares though

@THESETHINGSWILLCHANGE <3 That means a lot man, I really appreciate it :D

I was trying super hard to try and bury the lede just a little bit, make it seem like a big grand adventure as you find more and more places as you get further from the start. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

This is genuinely my favorite map of all time. Me and a friend played through this expecting it to be a small map, instead we got to play through one of the best gaming experiences of all time. Amazing map, you should be proud of yourself for making this.

Working on a small update, might make a particular ocean with a view just a little tenser. Just don't try too many locked doors or you might awaken a presence...

@Gygas That's awesome, I'm glad both of you enjoyed it so much! I've got a much bigger map planned for the next one, going to try and cram as many unique and weird little rooms into gmod as hammer will let me haha

This map is genuinely outstanding. I went in blind with my BF and we spent over an hour running around like lunatic urban explorers trying to find all the secrets. Loved it!

@JOHNCARSMAN thank you so much! I wanna play around with more train-related stuff in gmod, it was really fun to throw together

This is such a cool map! I love the transportation system! Haven't seen it before, good work Dylan!

Alright, navmeshes are in!

Hi everybody! Doing some repacking and also adding in a navmesh for everybody that was asking for one! Keep in mind it's likely going to be a bit buggy with the teleports, hard to get the two to work together nicely.

@bliss weird, cause that's my photo of my cat lmao on the chalkboard in the dev room.

hey, i noticed the devroom cat looked really familiar and realized i have an entirely unrelated map downloaded (called "codys map" on the workshop) that makes use of the exact same cat image. who is this cat?

@大柏鹏 你好！很抱歉使用谷歌翻译。我很高兴你和你的朋友玩得很开心，而且玩了 2 个小时！我也同意，Source 引擎确实让普通的地方感觉很可怕。这就是我如此喜欢它的原因之一哈哈哈

再次为糟糕的翻译道歉！非常感谢你的参与，我的个人资料上还有一些上传的内容，如果你想看看的话！

sorry for machine translation I'm bad at my native language and very dumb haha

@Turqoise Days thank you so much, I'm glad you liked those nods to remedy haha, I'm a big fan of their stuff! I always enjoy making weird little maps to walk around, if you liked this one I've got a handful of other ones based on the film photography I do as a hobby

Upon playing this map, it is obvious that a lot of care and effort went into it. I appreciate the Control reference and puzzle, since I played the game I immediately knew what to do, but I won't spoil anything. The RED G-man and Interloper easter eggs was also amusing to discover. All in all, definetely a good quality exploration map. I look forward to seeing other projects by this creator.

@Turqoise Days there's a button on the pillar in the lower entryway to the tower, press that to access the rest of the map. It's also in the trailer video if you need guidance

真是太抽象了，配上那个起源引擎的独特滤镜，就像玩心理恐怖的游戏一样，和朋友瞎转悠了2个多小时终于把地形弄明白了，现在再玩这张地图就像在自家有些诡异的地下室溜达一样（感谢您治好了我和朋友的幽闭恐惧症

Might be broken, can't seem to reach any place besides the initial island without noclip.

@QuantumDylan thanks bro
