This one is labeled as Number 4. The general appearance looks similar, but they're different maps.

Anyway, I played it in Episode 2 (and yes, there's video of it around YouTube now), and the only differences between it and Gmod are:

- No weapons
- You move REALLY slow
- When the monster touches you, you're taken back to the menu.

I figured that if you reached the "escape" portion of the last floor with the ladder while playing Episode 2, something would happen. But no, the monster is supposed to get you.

One other thing - the monster is actually referenced in a foundonthetape video. At the 0:15 mark of 095, it's pretty much the exact same... creature?

I really enjoy the idea and how they're going about using HL2 maps as a storytelling vehicle. However, they should have planned the designs of the levels better, because they're boring narrow corridors with no details. I'm not trying to say they should have professional quality level design, but I wish there was more variation outside of the DOOM corridor maze, or a dark room that uses HL2 tile textures.

I'm not trying to diss the ARG, but I never want to play these levels for myself because it'll ruin my personal enjoyment.

After the 10 candidates were chosen for FOTT, I fell out of the loop. Has this ARG sung its swan song or is it still active?

I *really* wish that this wasn't the answer, but it appears to have died. Months of absolutely nothing. Such a shame, I was enjoying the hell out of it.
