whatisfear

Description

[VOLUME WARNING!]

this is the only video recording i have of it, but the video got fucked up along the way. I lost all of these maps to a dead hard drive many years back, but I'm interested in re playing this one. I think the name of the map was "whatisfear", and I think it came in a package of 2 or 3 total maps

This video only shows the first 15 minutes or so of me playing it back in 2015, but my video files got screwed and I lost the other 5-6 hours of footage from this playthrough

I really wanna try beating this one, because it went from like, a Stanley Parable ripoff to some really weird freaky shit. I remember a part where you had to explore a junkyard and find all the paintcans, but the paintcans would always try to roll away from you. I also remember a really weird kitchen section with really cursed music where you had to listen to it for an hour while physics props noises were happening all around you. It got really freaky. I remember I got stuck in the large city part because i got lost and gave up eventually.

I think I downloaded it from gamebanana or something, but I don't remember. trying to search for whatisfear or whatisfear.bsp didn't bring any results on youtube or google. If anybody knows what this one is called or where I can download it, please let me know!
