Entropy: Horror-Themed Puzzle Map

---

To play, load hl2_entropy_2021 in singleplayer Sandbox mode. As it was originally designed as a map for EP2, I've had to add some hacks to remove the default GMod weapons and load the last autosave if you die. There's not much I can do about the spawnmenu/noclipping though (short of making a completely new gamemode), so... don't use them, I guess.
Please let me know about any bugs or frustrations, though unfortunately I can't guarantee I'll have time to fix them. Enjoy!

This map tends to be more puzzle-focused, but there are some rare jumpscares involved. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing, hover over the spoiler text below for a heads-up on when they'll occur.
There are three jumpscares. The first can be avoided: near the start of the map, a vertical door closes as you approach it. You're then forced down a narrow corridor instead. To avoid a surprise zombie, don't take the first door on the right leading into the bathroom (see image #2).
The next spook occurs after the room with the circular saws. As you approach the door at the end of the corridor, it will burst open with a couple of fast zombies (see image #8).
The last one isn't scary as such - just be prepared for loud noises when you put the orange (Xen) crystal into the laser.

Almost exactly 11 years ago, I started what was originally intended to be a mod for EP2. It was inspired by horror games like Amnesia and other "weaponless" mods like Research & Development (no relation to Entropy: Zero, FYI), and set in some kind of alternate-universe Ravenholm. I think I spent more time on the first map than I have on any other map before or since, but as with most things, I eventually got bored and moved on to something else.
Several weeks ago, I decided there were some parts of it that were worth polishing up and uploading here. I wanted to make sure it's fun to play and nice to look at, but I don't have the time or motivation to do the complete redesign it would ideally get. Read: I made up the story and layout as I went along, so they make absolutely no sense. I hope you can still enjoy it for what it is. c:
