Cons

>Lack of Strategy

What i mean by this is that
theres really no way to fight back against the killer
For Starters you either have to run around objects. Have one of your friends be bait. or just hide in general.
This gets pretty boring quickly.


>BS AI

I understand the npc being faster than the player. but it doesn't help that the npc can teleport and show up out of no where no matter how good you are or your plan is.
you have to constantly have to wish the Ai doesn't spawn near you.
and you have to be paranoid (also ik the teleportation is explained by 2 killers but it still doesn't make it any less bs)

>Finding the janitors keys
problem is that you have to find a key which is randomly generated.
the problem with this is finding the key is hard enough since theres a little room to avoid killer.
but making it even harder is one another thing
>The ending boss

i don't like how the ending boss is too easy i mean the encounters before it was more scary weird. how a guy with a knife is harder than a guy with a gun.

PROS
>The map.

its beautiful you can tell some effort was put into this
i love it

>story
its good. enough said
>voice acting

reminds me of sfm and old gmod animations
pure gold
i love it.
tho its kinda ruined by the fact with that one guys awful mic (no offense).
FINAL THOUGHTS

its a wonderful map. however it gets ruined by the bs npc and how boring it can get sometimes.
however if you like adventure maps than you'll love this

If you want to use more strategy, there is one more thing you can use against the killer, and that is the radios. If you look around the school you can find batteries that you can use to activate radios, which attract the killer. Otherwise the gameplay is about quick reactions and improvising where to run when being chased.

The NPC does not teleport. Sometimes he roams, sometimes he hides in a classroom and waits for you, but at no point does he teleport. Some sections don't have the killer at all. I see having to be paranoid about the killer as a good thing in a horror map.

The boss fight isn't the best, I experimented with how much health the NPC should have and how much damage he deals and I got mixed results depending on who was playing. I really don't want people to die at the end and have to do the whole thing over, because their aim isn't good enough.

It does tho.
sometimes a killer is one location
and boom to another

like for example the killer was the first floor and and like far away from the recption and than out of no where it came into the recption and kill my friend.

unless theres 2 npcs (which i doubt)
i also forgot to mention at the mission where you
get the keys from the recception
and after that soometimes the killer shows up and kills you when you get the keys and sometimes he waits till you go to the first floor.
i think the npc is glitched

There's always only one NPC and I can assure you it does not teleport, I tested the map countless times with wireframe mode (so I could see through walls) and it never teleported, nor is it made to teleport. It's just a metropolice NPC with a different model with some attached triggers to grab players.

When you get the keys from reception, the killer gets a command to go lurk in one of the upstairs rooms (he literally turns around and runs up there). If he is too close to the players however, he will ignore that command and follow the player to the reception area (where there is a table to loop him around).

If you don't believe me, play it with "r_drawothermodels 2" command in the console (must have sv_cheats 1) and see how it works.

Why would he be glitched? Do you want the killer to be predictable?

im saying he glitched. bc for starters sometimes the killer doesn't even kill you even if you're infront of him he just stands there doing nothing.

and not to mention my friend was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from scream.

like really far away scream was on the first floor to the right while my friend was on the right.
and some scream got to him seconds after he killed me on the first floor.


im sorry if i sound toxic i really am

weird, that sounds like a glitch then, I've never had him teleport and he's not supposed to teleport either

no need to apologize
