I like the level design, and all that science-y stuff is pretty cool. Pretty good, one of the first mods I played (a year ago). I like the level design, and all that science-y stuff is pretty cool.

If only our school system would work this way ! Good mod , but a little short I think the idea, of “learning and playing” is great. If only our school system would work this way !

The main objective of the modification is to learn and solve puzzles to get out of the facility. These puzzles are not hard to solve at all and the action is very easy to fight through, plenty of supplies given to the player. There's also a nice quiz you can take part of, where you must answer five questions to win the items in the storage room. But this part is bugged and you get the same questions repeated to you at times. New voice acting, rather fitting with the date it is set and sets the mood a little different, but some do drag on a little bit. <b>Design:</b> The train at the start is very well made, but the rest of the map is rather average but nothing that puts you off while playing. Texture choices are set to a choice of white bricks and concrete with a few others that are used well. Lighting was moderate, some intense red lighting though which looked a little bad. Use of props were moderate and the map contained little effects such as steam and electricity to give it more of a destroyed look. <b>Conclusion:</b> Good map to learn while you play with easy yet moderate fights. <b>Rating: </b>70% Gameplay:

This time you enter a complex from WW2 that encountered several problem so you will need to solve several puzzles mostly easy and in relation with chemistry or at least science, to make your way trhough. Fight are really easy cause this is not the aim of this 'school mod' I found it really enjoyble...even if the lack of action and the abrupt ending cut this mod to be perfect An intersting little mod with another appoach.

As this is the first level that is why it is relatively easy in terms of fighting and why the puzzles are not too difficult. sicknewt, DESQ www.desq.co.uk/doomed Hi Dufferx,

The mod is fairly short, it is intended to be the first level of a larger game but we built this as a ‘proof of concept’ in the hope that we will be able to make more of the game at some point…

As this is the first level that is why it is relatively easy in terms of fighting and why the puzzles are not too difficult.

Can't figure how to turn on the power to open the rear bay door. Can get it to flash on, but not stay on... First puzzle is pretty rough.

It took a few days to post because I was waiting for permission to use the text and screenshots from the official homepage.
