Pros:
-Interesting gameplay, something new -Has that Silent hill and zalgo factor -challenging boss battle -puzzles (makes you think) -disturbingly creepy (my kind of horror)
Cons:
-The boss is a little to powerful -disappointingly small, could have been bigger -to much common infected during the boss battle
Conclusion:
although the boss battle is my only complaint and it's disappointingly short, it's a fun little campaign, something new, love the silent hill and zalgo factor and i find it unique to fight a boss in a l4d2 campaign

Pros:
-Unique gameplay -Silent Hill feel is done well -Spooks -Custom textures and tentacle things -Fun boss battle at end -Puzzles
Cons:
-No save point between collecting all glyphs and the boss battle. You have to restart if you lose. -Map could have been bigger with more detail, instead of putting the detail all in small areas.
Conclusion:
Just make a savepoint and this map will be much better. No story either. How did the survivors get there?

Pros:
-Unique experience. -Boss fight is exciting and challenging. (It's also survivable if you know how to actually kill it) -Significantly scary/creepy (random jump scares and such add to this) -Very detailed.
Cons:
-Needs to be longer/more than one map. Dying leads you to having find all glyphs again, which can take a long time. -Bots can be a bother sometimes. -Boss fight needs a little hint, upon my first try the lasers killed me off because I didn't know you were supposed to shoot the large spikes to stop them.
Conclusion:
Overall a very fun and challenging map. Though there are some minor issues, the campaign offers a fun and unique experience, with an exciting boss fight at the end.

Pros:
-All of L4D1 campains' history stuck in this scary paranormal place. -Short strange history & scary places. -Great glyphs founding system(A.I. director?). -Tanks,Witches & panic events are ''in-Valve style(They can scary you spawning ''near your face'' like in The Parish). -Epic Boss fight(It isn't difficult,like HL1 final boss fight). -Good ending. -A lot of places to camp as special infected(Maybe this map will be great for versus?). -Bot navigation is normal,they can teleport to you any time.(But playing single player Hunters & other incap. SI can make you a big problem) -Uncommon infected make this campain harder,but not too hard. -This map is like another great campain. -No missing textures,all places are good looking.(Gas station destruction is still great) -Easter eggs are making this map very intresting.
Cons:
-Map needs instuction in boss fight.(Like:''Shoot at the big ugly eye!'')
Conclusion:
This is one of the best maps I saw!I hope to see full campain made in this style.It reminds Silent Hill(the movie) & still really great co-op to play with friends.A lot of my addons works properly on this map & no bugs or horde spam.Intresting panic events(like horde of clowns or witch,screaming on the car & attracting a horde.(like Screamer?))Great Job!I hope to see more maps & campains like this.

Pros:
-Creepy atmosphere -Unique idea -Location changes -More fun with friends -Jumpscares
Cons:
-Bots can be slightly troublesome -It can get frustrating when unable to find glyphs -Needs to be 2 chapters - One for town and one for the ending
Conclusion:
It's rare to find a campaign like this that remains fun to play after a few tries. It does have it's scary parts, and the atmosphere is superb. However, I would really appreciate a saferoom before the boss, especially when it is so easy to die. It's irritating to have to replay the whole level to re-attempt. I really can't blame the author for the issue with the glyph, though, as it's probably my own fault for not searching hard enough! All-in-all, good work with this one.

silent hill detail funny ( seems more funny than scary)
Cons:
symbols are to hard to find (-.5) boring without friends (-.2) tanks are easy to kill(-.1) witches can be killed with out taking damage (-.1) to little infected(-.5) almost no hoards(-.3) map is dull(-.5) to small of a map to have 1 entire campaign based of it(-.5) way to much supplies to infected ratios (most damage I took was fall damage (-.1)
Conclusion:

Pros:
- A unique boss - Open-World (Sorta) - Some crazy surprises
Cons:

Conclusion:
Overall, it a good map especially with friends. The boss is awesome but seems to take forever to kill him. I would be happy to see another map like this.

Pros:
- Creative - Custom music - Glyphs - Fog - Confusing - Hidden glyphs are randomized each time - Eerie atmosphere - Upside down room - Witches - Custom boss
Cons:
- Parts of the blown up petrol station float above ground - No medkits in the boss area - Intro is too long if you have to restart the map
Conclusion:
A decent, unique map but it can be very frustrating if you have to restart it, especially if you get up to the boss.

Pros:
-Creative level design -Great use of fog/ash (added tension) -Balanced amount of infected/undead -Randomly generated glyph hunt -90's survival horror atmosphere/concept -Good fun
Cons:
-Single player bots can't follow most paths -Too many pick-ups (health/guns etc) -Some special infected become trapped on objects -The final boss' aesthetic design doesn't suit the atmosphere -Too short
Conclusion:
This is a great little mod, which was a pleasure to play. The overall atmosphere was just right and I wanted to continue playing long after the final boss. A lot of talent and imagination has obviously gone into the making of this, If you're a fan of silent hill, resident evil or 90's survival horror in general I recommend you give this a go. Thanks Mr.Sierra for building something, (albeit extremely short,) that was more engrossing than most current triple A titles.

Pros:
-Lots of cool custom stuff -Interesting design, well thought out -Good weapon Item placement -Great Intro
Cons:
-Bot nav seems like it could use some work in certain areas -at edge of world bots spawned on top of me which wasn't too cool -I wasn't crazy about how thick the fog seemed...but the ash/snow effect was cool and let me forgive it
Conclusion:
I haven't finished this one yet but look forward to trying again. The final Battle was really cool...I have not seen something like that in l4d custom content. Over all great job, besides some forgivable glitches/ issues this was pretty awesome...Great Job!

WitchyPosted this review
Pros:
-Nice atmosphere. -Reminds me of FEAR and Silent Hill [Love those two!] -The boss fight is just epic. -Also reminds me of the Silent Hill add-on. ^^
Cons:
-The bots are stubborn with following you sometimes too. -Even though I do like the boss, it does seem a little too hard. [Mostly if you're playing with bots for the time being] -During the boss battle.. maybe suggest some pain pills around the area? -Just a tiny, tiny bit of lag. [Unless it's just my computer]
Conclusion:
Offers more than just running and killing to get to the next safe house. Gives the player a chance to explore almost all of the map. I give you a 9.5! :3

Pros:
-Good atmosphere. -Ventilation shaft area was really trippy in particular. -That tank placement. -Challenging boss fight. -Innovative sandbox sort of gameplay. -Randomized glyph location and slightly different enviornments per play.
Cons:
-Terrible, terrible bot navigation. -Reaching one of the glyphs was a little unintuitive, needing to shoot open a locked door. -A tad short. -Slight lag in some areas.
Conclusion:
Unlike most other campaigns that rush you from spawn to saferoom, spawn to saferoom, and etc, this offers a more sandbox experience encouraging players to explore the map in its entirety. It's a bit of a struggle though when bots don't follow you, get stuck on objects, or refuse to pick up health kits, and they're just deadweight during the bossfight.

Jekyll Grim PaynePosted this review
Pros:
- Very original gameplay - Positions of glyphs change, creating new situations every time - Great visuals - Interesting and original horror-themed areas - Great atmosphere and FEAR-like events - Well-balanced - Very unusual finale - Gives an accurate representation of a district from the first Silent Hill while introducing lots of new areas
Cons:
- Average bot navigation (they keep dying constantly, reluctant to follow the players into secluded areas, staying in the streets during hordes) - Overpowered boss (not only are the bots totally useless, but the boss has too much health. Either the amount of health should be diminished a bit, or the hordes that appear during boss fight should be removed, or at least there should be some pain pills scattered around).
Conclusion:
This campaign presents a totally new sandbox-type gameplay instead of traditional 'from-A-to-B', at the same time, unlike many original attemts, it keeps the balance and looks really great with lots of effort put into it.

Pros:
Boss Fight!* Dun dun dunnnnn!* Glyph Hunting Atmosphere( I jumped at the witch in the ventilation system. :D ) Hard!
Cons:
Terribad Navigation with the Bots in certain areas( like the rooftop, and vents.( Sometimes they don't follow me on the stairs either) Not very bot friendly. >.>( Boss is hard when they all die D: ) Not much banter between the survivors except when injured or dying.( I like flavor convos)
Conclusion:
Aside from the few cons mentioned this is a very fun map! It's a well done map. But at the same time it's not a very Bot friendly map. Bots won't pick up weapons or healthkits in certain areas( including the prebossfight area), bots don't follow in certain areas( like the ones mentioned above( they'll be ported to me, and sometimes they'll port off the side and fall to their deaths)). During the boss fight the bots are only good for zombie fodder and nothing more! But! All in all this is a fun map, worth the download, if the bot issues could be fiixed that'd be awesome, keep up the great work.
