I liked the environment, but I failed to see the "puzzle". I just let the bullsquid kill the headcrab, then let the bullsquid detonate the mines, then calmly opened the exit door. There are fire alarms but I'm not sure about the effects. Perhaps should replay it in a few days. Anyway, nice mapping, I liked the lightning most.
I gave up. nothing is interactable, fire alarm seems to do nothing but a neat effect. I blew up the explosive crate by the door and the barrel by the boxes and nothing happened. even blew up the mines by the headcrab and nothing happened. nothing really seemed to get me closer to exiting. Then i decided to impulse 101 and nuke the place and still nothing seemed to get me any further. Wish there was more things to interact with to give me the sign of progress
edit: went back in and did what the above spoiler said, and the door still didnt open. the buttons seem like theyre just forever disconnected
edit 2: decompiled the map to realize that the non-broken door lever is actually a real button that needs to be held. I didnt see it bounce when I was spamming E on everything.
Im not really sure a puzzle actually exists, you just need to kill the bullsquid with the tripmine and then just open the door. That's more of an obstacle than a puzzle. I feel like a puzzle would entail breaking a certain box or pressing E on a button some where which then reveals a clue or something. The cameras didnt really serve a purpose either other than warehouse realism.
The mapping itself looks nice though and has a good HL vibe to it. Going to give it a 2/5 though because the gameplay itself feels quite underwhelming
There are around 3 ways you can accomplish this map.
