Hey! I've been trying to track down a custom map I played a few years ago, maybe in 2020 or 2021, and since I see that you've been playing a lot of Half-Life Alyx maps lately, I'm wondering if you might be able to help me. I don't remember the name, but I think I remember it being part of a collection, like possibly a Vaultmaps competition (not 100% certain on this). It had a few really striking features, namely there being some sort of custom voiced Vortigaunt shopkeeper near the beginning who I couldn't understand, and a fight with Combine at the end where you could see their location through walls represented with a sort of bluish cloud effect. That fight took place in a room where the combine were coming from a raised platform and shooting down at you, where you had some obstacles to hide behind. The whole map looked like it took place underground, using the sewer brick texture on most of its walls. I think there might have been a custom vending machine mechanic as well. It was a really unique map, so I'm hoping to find it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I can't recall having played such a map. The Vort and the glow mechanic is pretty unique. Maybe from the "One Room" challenge - I heaven't played those maps yet. Maybe you can find it in Skummeh's list docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HefptbgP2pwxDCVITIH5ax8bJ0LFxn6NTVcoM8e6SQ4/edit#gid=0

@@lambdarokh I actually managed to track it down, it was "Infestation Cleaning" by Adesi, for the Vaultmaps Xen Infestation competition. The one video of it I found on KZbin doesn't show the glow effect, because as I recall it only appeared in your left eye and I guess the desktop view is from your right eye. I recommend checking it out! And thanks for replying

@@Cosmonaut800 Thanks for the map name. I thought I played all of the Xen Infestation maps but that's the only one missing. Will check it out soon.
