There is no real campaign description... Just a story of why and how...
Fail Safe... Every now and then... a map appears on the workshop and only the workshop... It is like finding some candy that can be any flavor, and you have no idea what it could be... This time however... We found that piece of candy that tastes like literal shit...

Final Verdict
Highly Not Recommended...
Every now and then... A new maps shows up out of the blue... Sometimes they are good... Sometimes not so much... This time, it is definitely the latter...
It is bad...
Aesthetics check every box in the shit list... Bad fog, floating props, jagged displacements, bad lighting, completely dead silent... You name it...
Maybe I could forgive it for this... Just because a map looks awful doesn't mean it is automatically not fun... But that doesn't apply to this map, and its atrocious gameplay... Unnecessarily long chapters that are so wide open... that most of the time is spent wandering around without so much as a zombie to shoot... And speaking of wandering, there is not much in the player leading department, and this is not helped by how easy it for you ti leave the playable area... and wander around the outskirts... and under the map...
This touches that level of bad where it loses all charm...
Some maps are bad, but still have a certain charm to them that makes playing them still worth your time... But then sometimes a map is so bad that it is just painful to play...
Unfortunately... This map falls into the painful to play category...
