This is a a discussion topic for the map "Nightmare House" by hen which can be found here

Map description:

Your car has broken down while driving across the coast to visit your family. But luckily, you breakdown infront of a house. You open the gate and begin to walk up the path to ask the inhabitants for help...But something doesn't feel right about this house...

Welcome to the Nightmare House.

Looks very nice :) although it might not be the best mapping i've seen i sure think this is one of the nicest maps i've seen going by the theme and how you worked it out, it realy looks scary, good job!

Just played it, very scary :D
Architexture could of been better but overall it was pretty gd
Most fun hl2 singleplayer mod I've played so far in my opinion. Also would it of been possible to make all the maps into just one becuase I often found the loading often ruined the atmosphere a little

Looks ok so far, but the lack of light outside (pic 1, for instance), although scary, is unrealistic given the fact that the sky is being lit by the moon. Even the darkest night isn't pitch black.

An Awesome Map dude, nice job, lightning needs more working, and you should have added more effects like dust motes,and like made the lights a little less bright and to other colors e.g. dark yellow or something like that...
but the sequences and the sounds and phys explosion are really timed well, i loved it, the think that really scared me is when that stalker just appear infront of you, gave me the creeps :P

Nice map, we need more of these.. !!

I love this mappack. I love it to death. I would love it more if there wasn't any hl2 zombies, but different enemies. I wish the toolshed thing was openable, it had me curious, along with the other locked doors. It scared the crap out of me many times and It is the best hl2 map I have played... You basically made a map pack better than hl2, in my oppinion. Scarier than ravenholm, which wasn't at all scary. I just wish it was longer.

I'm not the kind of guy to get scared by a movie on tv or by a computer game, but I have to admit, that stalker gave me the creeps.

Wow! The architecture seemed a bit lacking in some areas, but your ideas are astounding! The part where the girl hangs herself was amazing. Great work man!

I love this. You seem to have a skill for horror maps. Very nice flowto the map. You pretty much told a story without even...well telling one. :D 10/10

I hope to see more Hen masterpeices in the future. Only thing is take a tiny bit more time on geometry.

Wow! Awesome map pack. I seriously reccommend playing it one dark and stormy night. Without lights.

Parts of the maps could have been a bit scarier, but i got totally freaked at the end.

Certainly a frightening piece of work!!

Ok wheybags, heres what you do. Go into your HL2 folder, go into hl2, then maps. Put the bsp in that file. If im wrong im sorry, but all you have to do is find the maps folder within the HL2 folder.

Good luck,
Chase
