Gm EK Overgrowth

Overgrowth is a scenic exploration map which takes place in the courtyards and tunnels of an unknown now-abandoned facility. Most of the crumbing ruins have been overtaken by plants - while a local hive of antlions is beginning its incursion into the concrete tunnels from below. The structure's exact purpose is unknown, but it seems to have been used for some kind of military logistics. Stranger yet, there are some signs of more recent habitation...

• Small bunker corridors, secret passages, and broken-open walls allow traversal through the map.
  
  
• A flashlight may be needed in some of the deeper tunnels.
  
  
• Basic 3D skybox

Might attempt to add nodes if I feel like pain.
Alot of areas are disjointed and require crouching & jumping though so I don't think it'd even work.

I didn't really have a specific idea in mind for the map, and this was before the 'liminal space' fad caught on. It's pretty much just an atmospheric space to explore with bits of environmental storytelling and a mix of real & fantastical architecture.

You could probably use this with the LIDAR gamemode too, I did during some testing when I was bored. As a bonus to make the map more easily navigable you can delete all the doors by going into console and typing:

The leaking water particle-effect won't play if you don't have HL2 EP2,
but other than that no game content should be required.
