An alien infested park and camping site.
The overall design and construction are pretty basic with blocky architecture and oversizing of some objects.
Wall and sector shading are weakly implemented so everything is dimmed by only using reduced visibility. With limited trimming the minimal amount of used textures makes everything blend together.
There are some detailing and ambient sounds to make a semblance of a dark and creepy atmosphere. The map is centered around finding keys.

Game play fluctuates dramatically and it seems this map was built backwards.
In the beginning there's a difficult and annoying maze loaded with enemies. Of course this is when the player has almost no weapons or ammo.
After surmounting this area the layout becomes very simplified and enemy encounters are sporadic and in fewer numbers.
The only danger in the latter part of the map would be to accidently stand in one of the numerous toxic pools a bit too long.
