Hey everyone! Before we get started, I just want to say that I’m really happy to see new faces trying out the game after the coupons got sent out! This means more attention for our hard-working mapmakers and more activity in the community in general! Also yeah, this one’s kinda late, but we’re catching up, I promise! This week’s Map of the Week is “APartMeant for another map” by SockPuppet, a very familiar face at this point.
While the objective is just “kill all undead”, it has an outstanding concept that raises it above this week’s other maps – it takes away your ability to see all the rooms in the map. It achieves this by placing rooms outside of the camera’s range, to simulate entering rooms without seeing their interiors. The feeling of not knowing what’s to come, the fear of the unknown, is very rare in Deadbolt maps.
To see what’s inside a room, you need to enter it and react to whatever’s waiting for you, which may feel somewhat cheap, but this is balanced out by the level being on the shorter side, meaning you won’t lose vast amounts of progress should you die.
And as always, there’s backup, but any obstacle can be cleared with a large enough hammer. Play it now!
