This map has been thoroughly playtested. Cheating is not necessary.
This is my first map, and it might be the only map I ever release. Development started back in Beta 1.3_01, almost four years ago. After many years of being in development hell (pun intended), Into the Depths is finally completed. I hope you enjoy it. This was a one-man project, and I put my heart and soul into it. Hopefully you'll take the time to leave some feedback when you finish it!
Into the Depths
In Into the Depths, you take the role of an escaped convict who, while running from the authorities, stumbles across a cobblestone path in the forest. Suddenly he's attacked by grotesque creatures and follows the path hoping it would take him to civilization. Instead he arrives at a castle owned by a man named King Arnold Schuster. There's only one problem, there isn't anyone inside. Layers of dust cover everything, the place seemingly abandoned for a long time.
Abandoned by people at least.
Through some exploration, you discover that King Schuster apparently opened a portal to the Underworld, and the only way to close it is to bring the four Golden Apples to God, or so they say. However, as you progress, you'll discover things are not what they seem, and darker twists than you could have imagined are inevitable.
Features
Into the Depths is a single-player map that looks to create a story and atmosphere akin to the original Resident Evil, and especially, the Silent Hill series. During your playthrough, you'll experience a deep, nuanced story filled with interesting characters, varied environments, unrelenting darkness, a constantly changing "real" world/otherworld, and an oppressive atmosphere fueled by custom sounds and hand-picked textures included in the download. This is not a jump scare map. This is an atmospheric, psychological horror/adventure map.

This is a playthrough by Unfixingalloy1, a user who helped test out the beta of the map and was pumped to play the full version. A small channel that is sure to grow bigger soon enough.

If you decide to do a Let's Play of the map, post it in the comments and I'll feature it on the main post!
Also, I'm looking for someone who can create a trailer for the map. If you're interested, PM me!
