*SPOILER ALERT*
I took the red door the first time. The narrator started scaring me more than a little...

I think your mod is slowly becoming one of the most popular. (It deserves it)

Beautiful, I have paid full priced games with less character, wit and personality than this excellent mod, well done.

I could list my order but that would probably be a little spoilerish to the people that haven't played them yet.

This is very good! Love it, actually. Is it merely a test, or an experiment to test out methods for a lager mod?

I figured that was kinda the point.

If a this mod were nothing but beautiful polished maps, the narration would totally loose all of it's impact and purpose.

Do you mind releasing a full soundtrack listing? Amazing mod and the music certainly helped set the mood. The narrator was also spot on.

So cool, Narrator was great, wish it was longer though, maybe a second one? Could use a little bit of polish in some parts

Since the Source SDK was released does that mean that you can play any source mods?
