First off, let me just say that the atmosphere of this map is wonderful. I love the abandoned town aesthetic, and the nightmare sequences are great. The story is good, too! The concept of the main character slowly losing their grip on sanity is not something I've seen in a lot of other horror maps, and the effects are lovely! However, these positives are overshadowed by just how dull the gameplay is.

You see, in the previous chapters, some of the puzzles were... not great, but I could at least find the hints as to what the answers were. But in this one... ugh. Tip for your next map: don't do open areas, at least, not as open as this one. Take the Cutting Torch, for example; you are supposed to find the torch in order to get into the next section, problem is, I can't find the Cutting Torch! I can't go in any of the buildings, and I searched all around the outside. Still couldn't find it. Even worse, I couldn't find most of the keys to the locked doors! Thank God GMod has noclip.

It gets even worse. I couldn't finish the map. The final section where you're supposed to find three gas cans? I could only find two, and I couldn't even pick one up. I'm 90% sure this map is unfinished. At least make it easier to find the things, maybe some environmental hints, like blood? Anything to help would set this map ahead miles.
