As you may know, there's a downside to everything, and with DEADBOLT's success we sometimes have to suffer because of all the garbage we're sent to review. We were promised a free copy of RoR 2 and a pack of nachos for this though, so to hell with it.
This week’s Map of the Week is “DNA” "HELLO WORLD" by Alex Pine - a collection of levels with “checkpoints” in-between (no actual connection between levels is made) where users have to make choices in order to give up their privacy for data-hungry companies to determine what variation of a level they’re gonna play, though I haven’t noticed any differences between routes. So far.
The first level starts us off at a zombie hideout with both Roland and Puff on site. For a random douche whom I’ve never heard of, the level design is surprisingly nice, it ain’t too hard nor too easy, the decorations look pretty and the enemy placement’s fair. Also there’s a crane which makes it an automatic MotW material. In fact, it’s the only reason I’m covering this map in the first place. Free stuff aside, it wouldn’t be worth it without one.
The second level has us clearing a few vampire buildings, Madam Stela included, and for once the doors are all the proper height unlike what usually happens. Not much to say other than that, all’s fine and dandy here too. Some 4th wall breaking is cool every once in a while I guess.
Uh, anyway.
TH̹̞̘e thirddd level has us… clearing some skeleton hideO̷͂ͭ́ut? There’s an overwhelming amount of weaP̡͟͜҉̻͎̹͇̣onry on the lower floO̡͂̓҉r, which makes it a breeze. You gO̧̢͡ through the thing, pick a safe and ggggGggGg…

Hey, look, I know how you’re feeling. I wasn’t sure about this whole thing from the start, and many of our men are still worried about cooperating with creatures we didn’t know existed. You’re right to be creeped out, and you’re right to be unsure. But this is our only option!
What, you wanna wait and see as the reaper takes our men one by one? You wanna bet everything on a plan that might not work, that might make things worse? There’s nothing in this world for us. Everyone’s just cold. We all just want this to stop, and not just want, like really want, like every cell in our bodies is screaming for this to stop. This right here - this is our opportunity for something else. A whole new world. This might be what we need to make it warm again. To make it safe again.
Look, we’re running out of time. We’ve managed to communicate with the Candles, and it seems like the flames and Charon are in on it too, and they’ll bring friends. Everyone, with the exception of the offering, is being brought together in hope of fixing everything. The endgame is approaching. Everyone’s slowly come to the realization that it’ll be fine, except you.
Please, friend.
Let us join together with the Entity.
