Description

PROLOGUE: You've always wondered about what happened around the area by the mountain. What people had told you. Some said they heard noices beneath the ground. Others said that they had seen strange creatures. It was a mystery.
You decide to go there yourself, to unravel the truth that lies beneath the surface. You put on your coat, and you start walking up the steep hills towards the mountain. Once you get closer, you start rubbing your eyes and you can see a hole on the side of it. 'This is it' you think to yourself, heading towards the entrance[.]

This map has been a pleasure to make! A journey that I will never forget. I sincerely hope you enjoy it, as the main focus has been put into detailing it. Let me know if you found some of the easter eggs I've included in the map, and have fun experiencing it! :)

NOTE: This map was created with the Hammer World Editor provided by Valve. If you stumble upon any bugs, or if there is something you think would improve the map, let me know! I'll see if I can make any changes!

@wildgoosespeeder I totally get what you mean, and I know it's dumb. Unfortunately I don't have access to the map file anymore, so unless I decompile it from the workshop, this will remain like this for at least some time. Though I love your suggestion!

The problem with decompiling maps is that the result is often a bit 'messy', so it would require a lot of work just to get it to compile properly.

This map has a neat little puzzle but it is mostly form over substance. The part where you are supposed to swim, change it so it is less goo-like or put an arrow or sign or something indicating the liquid is harmless to touch. I mean later on, there is another goo pool and that is harmful.

For some odd reason, after solving the puzzle, I jumped down and tried to resolve to get back up. Something with scripting or logic fizzles the cubes when I attempt this.

@fantasychica37 hey! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Unfortunately all the custom textures don't work anymore, which is a shame

I also didn't recover them. The custom material covered all the story notes as well as some music. Anyway, here's the full story:

(PROLOGUE -> in the description)

Just before the events of Portal 1, a group of aperture science employees were sent North where they would establish a new corporation inside a mountain, called Aperture North . The reason they moved north was so that they wouldn't be spotted, and their purpose was to build aperture testchambers and put them to the test. However, only after a couple of months they were starting to experience a few difficulties, such as rockslides and water leaks. This became such a big problem that in the end, they were forced to move out of the facility.
