I'm working on a Wheatley map with 3-4 chambers, and I just want this first one to go through a playability test. Please mention ANY comments/suggestions/concerns that might help improve the map. I want this good and ready when it's released.

Just in case you found multiple solutions and want to know which ones are exploits, so have fun.

Very good map. Took me a while to figure it out.

Pretty good map need a large bit of thinking :thumbup:
But thre are things to change :
- if it's a Weathley map where is the potato ?
- Try to make movies in the elevators : it's an option in the arrivadeparture transition ents
- the panel at the enter do not show anything
- if we wait too much time in the room with the panel, the door will close definitively, try a trigger after the door to close it :thumbup:
- and the gel dropper is too old !!! try to replace it by an item dropper enabled
- you should make the cube cleaner

After you change tis things, it can be a very, very good map :thumbup:

I always like it when a map makes you think for a while! Excellent map with many elements well chosen on a kinda clean-decay little space. Very good and clever puzzle that makes you take around 30-40 min. to plan the escape.

I wish this could be part of a mappack because it leaves a really good taste in your mouth.

Here is my playthrough:

Thanks for mapping!
