Pouring (Sanity) Down the Drain

Description
After crashing their helicopter in an abandoned warehouse, barely injuring themselves, the survivors will make their way through the underground reaching a building that houses an infamous medical facility.

Pouring (Sanity) Down the Drain is a medium-size 4-chapters campaign with a dark atmosphere and some horror elements later in.
The big majority of the map is set indoors/underground and a lof of it is generally dark.

The campaign does have some side-objectives, secrets you might find exploring and easter eggs too.
Designed to be played with no issues in max difficulty (expert realism).

If you have your graphic settings set too low you might not see the gas leak causing fire on map 3 due to the particles being invisible so be careful)

in case you have the game instructor off, you need to find the fireworks box and use it on the fireworks launcher to start the finale


Versus supported (keep in mind i am not a versus player and i am not experienced with balancing maps for the mode, so i do take suggestions).

For the best experience here are my big recommendations:

1: If you plan exploring some hard-to-get secret routes, make sure you are with other players or have admin system since bots struggle severely through them
2: Fully disable music on chapter 3, it has its own soundtrack to set the mood
3: Game instructor is not required but recommended

If you are interested in replaying this campaign, here is some interesting info (avoid reading if you haven't played):
The orange keycard position in map 1 is randomized,
There are some really hard to find secret shortcuts in both map 1 and 2 that skips most of them,
Map 3 has 2 randomized routes you might get (1/4 chance of getting an alternative route),
After the explosion in map 3 you might get either a tank or a horde (you can predict the tank by the scream).
Map 4 has a hard mode trigger hidden behind a false bookshelf in the very beggining of the map.

This is fun stuff buddy

地圖氛圍滿好的,可互動的物件和事件多,有些場景很有陰間感(讚賞意味),第三關吃了奇怪的藥後一瞬間的廠景轉變很驚豔,最後一關的救援比較一般,稍顯可惜,但整體來說還是優秀的地圖(9/10)

@Axel hayes pick the toolset right next to the elevator and then hold E on the boards

I can't get past the boarded up elevator in the third level, the valve with the pool does nothing and I can't break the boards

This campaign is easily one of my most favorite, ever! I love RE, SH, and horror stuff, so this was exactly what I wanted. Awesome mood, atmosphere, and music!

This, for me, is an example of a good, but not quite great map. The music and atmosphere was very well done. But a lot of the objectives involving custom items were really hard to find. Those strange pills especially. Though I must say I was surprised by how fun the finale was. It was a lot tenser than I was expecting. Overall I'd give this 6.5/10

.....explosives? you can just hold E (or your interaction button) on the boards to break them... it even tells you that when you interact with the toolset and as a hint after picking it up too
