But for all the mappers that have tried to create a horror level, I think you've done the best job yet. 4/5.

I'm glad you think that... The problem is that horror is made by, shocks, sounds and something that is not supposed to be... The 2 first needs a lot of teleporters, triggers, fades, shakes, logics, and ambient generics. That takes up a lot of space and may crash the map...

Also, there is no quicksave in the gladosroom... You must have done it yourself...

I think I broke the map even faster than baca25. After starting in an observation room I solve the two laser puzzle in the room below, then reappear in the observation room, then solve the same puzzle again, then reappear in the observation room, then enter the hallway and things go dark. Then an infinite loop: the console appears briefly, I reappear in the two laser test room and see someone already there, I take one step and appear back in the observation room, enter the hallway, things go dark, repeat.

This is what the console showed:

Oh... i guess my map is very easy to break... well my next horror map will be a bit more simple (in hammer) so it won't break that easy

Not bad. Definitely scared the crap out of me several times (especially

the part with the crusher

). My only real complaint is that in the part with the

Spoiler

sphere, near the end, it's very easy to trap yourself, and it gets annoying having to take the sphere through that crawly-space

.
