Description
The Survivors Explore the Frozen Wilderness! (1.7)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Heading northwest seemed like a good idea to the Survivors, but the harsh winter has strained their supplies, and they can't stay holed up in their cabin forever. As they prepare for a supply run to the nearby Irons Family Mansion, little do they know its decrepit halls contain far more than they bargained for...



Director's Cut Available Now!
After months of waiting, Freezing Point: Director's Cut is finally here as a new download! With longer levels, a brand new map, and a whole lot of improvements, it's the definitive version of this campaign.

Don't worry, I've made the director's cut a separate add-on in case you still prefer the short version. I have no plans to delete or change the original Freezing Point campaign, so it will be preserved as-is.

CLICK HERE to download Freezing Point: Director's Cut!



Disclaimer & FAQ
Freezing Point is a campaign and survival add-on that may have compatibility issues with other mods. If you're experiencing crashes or other problems, please try disabling some of your add-ons (including other campaigns) and restarting Left 4 Dead 2.

4-Map Campaign
From the creator of Time to Die, explore the frozen wilderness of Minnesota in this full-length campaign! Search for key items to progress, but don't worry -- these environments are still easy to navigate.

Freezing Point is a campaign made entirely by one person (that's me!) over the course of a year and some change. The difficulty and average completion time is on par with what you'd expect from an official Valve campaign, but with an extra layer of weirdness added on top.



Randomized Replayability
While Freezing Point is not the longest campaign out there, clocking in at 40 minutes max if you explore every room, many events and items have been randomized to make each playthrough unique. I highly recommend playing through this campaign multiple times to see everything it has to offer.



Custom Survivor Conversations
Do you ever think it's awkward when you play a custom campaign and the survivors never talk to each other? Freezing Point has got you covered, with over a dozen new conversations made by remixing survivor dialogue into natural-sounding exchanges. NPCs with new dialogue are also included!

Survivors will call out directions, they'll update each other on events, and they'll have a chat in every safe room. Many lines also have multiple variations thanks to the power of randomization. In particular, each safe room has at least five possible conversations.



Achievements and Easter Eggs
Freezing Point also features map achievements for crafty players, many of which are related to finding easter eggs. See if you can earn them all based on these descriptions!

MAP 1: BELOW ZERO

- MASTER OF UNLOCKING - Open the locked gate in less than 30 seconds

- FRESH, NEVER FROZEN - Guess who's coming to dinner?

MAP 2: OLD MANSION

- WHAT A MANSION - Activate the secret elevator in less than 2 minutes

- ALL IS BRAWL - Listen to a secret conversation between two scrubby mercenaries

MAP 3: SECRET LAB

- POINTLESS PARKOUR - Leap over the barricade in the frozen laboratory from the wrong side

- YOU TRIED - Break the controls to an inaccessible door

MAP 4: GAUNTLET FINALE

- TRUSTED FRIEND IN SCIENCE - Find and complete the secret challenge rooms

- GNOME SWEET GNOME - Interrupt someone's private relaxation without knocking



And More!
NEW BONUS! As of Feb. 9, 2024, the user 17 has made a mod for Freezing Point that adds a bunch of brand new CUSTOM INFECTED MODELS to the campaign. I had nothing to do with this, so it's not official or canon — but give it a try if you want a more immersive experience.



Special Thanks
Hi, Kyle here. I don't have many people to thank since this campaign was a solo effort, but I'd like to start by thanking my wife for being a constant source of emotional support since I started this project in November 2020.

I'd also like to extend my gratitude to users RF, Flex, and especially AlwaysToast for helping me fix specific bugs in the 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 patches respectively.

After Time to Die wrapped up, Freezing Point was an experiment to teach myself how to do new things in Left 4 Dead. It's intentionally short and replayable, just like the Resident Evil games that inspired it. This campaign was supposed to come out last December, but it was delayed by several months because of a computer upgrade gone wrong. I guess it's still technically winter, right?

Oh, and huge thanks in advance to every player who downloads this campaign -- that's you, hopefully!

If you'd like to help support me in these trying times, please consider dropping me a dollar on my PayPal.[paypal.me]



Steam Deck Info
Freezing Point is fully playable on Steam Deck, tested by yours truly. At the highest graphics settings, there are occasional frame rate drops during intense action (45 FPS minimum). The custom HUD elements also get covered up by the new Deck-exclusive HUD for Left 4 Dead 2. Other than that, I had no issues.

Из обзора на компанию:
Отличная карта с уникальным геймплеем и хорошими локациями. Каждая глава выделяется интересными задачами. Но к сожалению очень мало, Проходится всего за 30 минут, а хочется больше!

Freezing Point has received its final update! Patch 1.7 fixes a few mistakes and adds a QR code so players can find the Director's Cut a little easier.

This version of the campaign will no longer be supported, and all future updates will go to the Director's Cut instead. Thank you all very much for playing my mods! It's the honor of a lifetime to entertain hundreds of thousands of people around the world :praisesun:

Freezing Point: Director's Cut is out now! It has longer levels, a brand new map, and a plethora of improvements. Don't worry, though -- the original version isn't going anywhere.

Glad you liked it! You'll be able to play the Director's Cut of this campaign in just a few days. Finding the lockpicks will be a bit easier next time (among a hundred other improvements) :er_wave:
