Continued working on the map for the horror game. There are some really cool things about this map design that I wonder if players will even notice. But it sure makes map design more fun.

Tell us more stop keeping us in the dark unless that's the point oh God is that the point

It's a horror game so everything is dark

Basically, I have area maps layered on each other that connect in ways that create navigation puzzles as well as loops back into other areas. I guess somewhat like Resident Evil, or "Dark Souls confined to a smaller area".

So it's more complex and players might just think 'oh it's just laid out normally' when really they're standing in a space that occupies different zones depending on the way they got there. But layering them and finding ways to connect them is fun.
