A snowy outdoor map. There's not a whole lot to this level; it's mostly a linear tree filled valley with a small town at the end.
Construction is pretty basic and only the few buildings and street section of the hamlet have any detailing or texture variety. The oddest aspect of navigating this level is the many invisible walls used to pipeline the player in one direction.
Game play is mainly combat oriented; collect a small stash of ammunition and health, fight until the next stash is reached, repeat several times, finish. There are enough supplies to make it through fairly easily, but dealing with all the trees is annoying. Half the time the enemy can shoot the player, but the sprites block the player's return fire.
