    Simply find you way out of Black Mesa.

    Just don’t expect an easy time of it!

    Apparently, there are 2 Easter Eggs in this map and only one can be found with Noclip.

    A short map that takes place in some part of Black Mesa.

    You meet a variety of enemies and your goal is to escape.

    Of course, nothing turns out as you expect it.

They have already freed some and hired them to work in the lab. But there’s also a team which runs some crazy experiments on teleportation. There is a disaster waiting to happen!

    The scenario is simple: Save your own skin and get to the surface.

    You start at the top of a shaft, with no other way to go except down.

    Clearly the only thing to do is find an escape route.
