This level is a greybox block-out, but is playable start to finish.

My main focus was creating challenging combat scenarios that provide a variety of options for the player, as well as a rough overarching goal.

The level only includes very basic visuals, no lighting, and may contain bugs. I hope you enjoy it all the same!

Tips

  • It's a fairly combat-heavy level, aimed at experienced players. I recommend Normal or Hard mode.
  • The level has some autosaves but you might want to use quicksave as well.
  • I've tried to keep combat open and flexible, allowing players to use a variety of methods to resolve conflicts. It pays to be observant of your surroundings.
