Crawling Around

Crawling through ducts presents a rather different type of challenge from other similar episodes. On the surface, this episode seems simple enough, but once the player starts playing through the episode they will quickly discover that there is a hidden challenge to this episode. Namely, weak ducts. Certain sections of the duct work is weak so if the player tries to go over those areas he or she will fall through the duct work with dire results.

There are two approaches to playing through the episode, three if you count using the map below. The proper way, as far as I am concerned, of playing this episode is to restart without the map relying only on your memory in order to make your way through the episode.

I certainly understand that this method requires patience and am sure that many players find such memory work to be unappealing. For those players I added the option to keep the auto-map. By doing this, the player does not have to rely on their memory but can have the computer act as a perfect memory of where the flaws in the ducts are.

For those of you who just want to finish the episode and don't want to do any real game-playing, there is the third option. Using the map below will allow you to figure out the best path to the exit.
