Put secrets here (unofficial secret-finding thread) [PLUS DEVELOPER INTERVIEW].
Ok so first off; I don't actually have this map installed. I like it, don't get me wrong (mainly because it looks like one of the in-universe games from The Beginner's Guide, which is one of my favourite Source Engine games of all time), but I'm also a massive coward who is easily freaked out by spooky/empty locations in games, so I'll just observe from the sidelines (although I may check it out at some point in the near future).

Anyway, the comments section for this is kind of a disjointed mess of people re-stating secrets that have already been found by other people, so I have decided to set up this Discussion post thing; here, people can look through and see what secrets others have found, update them with new knowledge, etcetera.

The ones I'm aware of are:
-Strider Pyramid.
-Shapes that do something.

That could be all there is, but knowing how in-depth some videogame Easter Eggs can get, there's probably a lot people still haven't found yet.

What the hell is that Strider Pyramid thing? The noise, the sudden game crash, and the pure absurdity of it actually got me.

Okay, when looking at the inputs via console, a door leading to the Strider thing opens when all 3 shapes are placed. If you touch it, it disconnects you.

Where are all of the shapes?
I found the green one at the base of the cliff thing, but I can't find any more.

There's a purple shape hidden behind a breakable wall if you follow the path immediately behind where you spawn. There's another, turquoise one if you go down the staircase to the right of where you spawn and look at the edge of the platform (it's on a small lip).

Even just looking at the strider pyramid immediately disconnects you

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but there's a bright white box with a large black something inside. Going into the box shuts down the server.

Thank you.

I have learned how to play this game.
There are three gems. Gem A, Gem B, and Gem C. (They can all be found using ent_fire gem(a,b,c)) There is a platform around the middle of the map. Put the gems into those button things around spawn. Each one makes a sound. The sound comes from the pyramid.

I have not used all of the gems, but I know that Gem C is fully outside of any structure and can be auto grabbed using ent_fire. Gem A is to the left of the 3 buttons, and Gem B is the one that ThatawkwardBryce is talking about.

After having all the gems, I will make a video on what happens. I will post it really soon.

Eh, not a big surprise.

The strider call plays and the door opens up. There's 3 striders. Nothing happens after, it just crashes you. Boring.

Figured out something. If you remove the door (hold c, hover over the door and right click if it's highlighted and remove it) you can take a look at the thing without it crashing on you but if you decide to take a closer look with noclip THEN it will crash

you can get rid of the funny crash by using the handheld remover weapon. use cone mode pressing r, hold left mouse click somewhere in the middle of the spooky momma strider.

the legs can also get deleted but it's not part of the funny crash.


i did try to find any other easter eggs beside the strider but i couldn't find any of them.

The pyramid is my grandma... why u guys gotta be mean??
@snusker Oh damn, I forgot I even started this thread.

By the way, are you by any chance interested in answering a few questions? I am curious about this map.
