Data Place

There’s only one Gordon Freeman. Nobody else can be trusted to retrieve the data.

You’ve been sent to a courtyard that contains 3 separate data storage points.

Reach each one, enter your USB and wait for the data to be transferred.

Once all three have been completed, look for the subway entrance and get ready for the ride of your life!

Here is another short map from Miigga.

It’s no different from the others posted so far; keep going until you find the end.

No story, no clear objective, bu fun nevertheless.

Plenty of action in this one.
