Writing reviews for such short maps (this took 5 minutes to play) is quite hard because there’s only so much you can either rave or complain about.

As part of something larger it would be fine but on its own it’s hard to recommend it. I’ve certainly played worse but it’s really only for players who want to play everything.

There’s a missing texture, which you can see in at least one of the screenshots. I don’t know whether that’s my fault or the author’s.

just this…it’s linear repetitive not challenging…but hopefully not frustrating…just a little 5min jogging

Could not finish this due to no graphics with air-duct sections.

It’s something to do. The combat was fine, nothing too hard or frustrating.

The graphics in the air ducts were bad/wrong/I don’t know what. I made it through (thankfully they were pretty short sections–if there were long vent-crawling sections I would have had to quit). If a grate was right in front of me, I could see it and into the next room without any problems. When I seemed to be stopped, I started bashing with the crowbar and found what was wall and what wasn’t.
