    Very huge work on this map. Congrats.

    I just done a few walktroughs on it, and my first impression (gameplay side) is about the path which is a bit complex.

    If this is confirmed with playtests, maybe can you delete or simplify some parts ?

    About the lighting, I also think that the sun could be a bit brighter.

    Nice to see a map with an uncommon concept.

    I noticed you maybe have a cubemap issue on your map.

    Take a look to the screenshot to see what I mean.

    (FYI, I took the latest version on the workshop)

    On the same screenshot, you can see there is a missing face on the wall (on the left) and the ladder is floating.

    It looks weird to me to don't have snow everywhere on the ground. (cf metal platform)
