Players can expect a progression in difficulty, with the initial map providing a more exploratory pace before escalating into more demanding combat scenarios.

Gameplay Mechanics and Features

At its heart, this mod is a pure shooter, emphasizing precise aiming and strategic movement. It supports various difficulty settings, with a recommendation for players to start on the "Hurt Me Plenty" (HMP) setting unless they are highly experienced with this style of shooter.

The mod can be played as a continuous experience or with pistol starts, allowing for different approaches to progression.

MAP01: Exploratory Start
