I still can't believe it’s been so many years since that uprising… we were so close to completing our goals. It’s too painful to look back and see all that effort die in vain, but there’s no point wallowing in the past. However, when things started to fall apart, the pieces fell perfectly, almost too precisely, in my opinion. They just swooped in like a sickening plague, took everything, and now have it in a suffocating grip. This city, everything in it… is absolutely horrible. Nothing changes and there's not a damn thing anyone can do but watch. Rotting buildings are filled with tormented souls... The Undead can't leave this place without a real "Reaper." The Dredged can fool themselves but they'll always be fakes, nothing but blind fools who get high off that new substance THEY keep paying them with. Still... I can't stop thinking about this new partner I've been assigned with. It’s very different, it can't talk, it completes contracts alone, it doesn’t react, it doesn’t seem to sleep, and it hyper fixates over the flickering Flames. I haven't seen that type of activity since... well…. I need proof to confirm my suspicion before I inform Sahara. I just hope it is what I really think it is. Anyways, that’s enough for tonight, signing off.

Author's Note:
This series is currently under development via story and gameplay. All levels will begin by giving the player the option to play map alone or to play the map with the story. This will be via icons: G for Game-play only and S for story (the full experience). Maps The series will be released whenever possible during the year of 2025. As of now, I'm currently focusing on the story and do not plan to start finalizing and releasing levels until the summer of 2025 (late July or September).


Last Stand Note:
This series takes place after the events of Last Stand. It's an amazing series of maps, however, it will most likely not be finished anytime soon. Flatline will provide closure and give hints as to how Last Stand ends.

Gettin' the Basics Down

Words of Sharin': Out of all the maps so far that I've update today (Jan 8th, 2024). I can comfortably say this one took the most amount of time and had the most amount of changes. I cannot remember how this map used to look originally, however, the update...
