For this competition, we asked entrants to create a level about escaping.
This is a Source mod that uses Mapbase and Source 2013 Singleplayer SDK. To install, place the "deceptionville" and "mapbase" folders inside your "sourcemods" folder which can be found under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods" if you are using the default Steam install path. Adjust as necessary.
Then you need to make sure you have installed "Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer" under the tools section of your steam library, then you also need to make sure that you have set it to the "upcoming" beta. You can do this via right clicking on the SDK, selecting "Properties", then "Betas" and lastly selecting "upcoming".
Yes another RTSL Comp I can have fun with. really look forward to these,and shows there's still talent out there.

-Ocean Lab
Yet another excellent addition to the map labs roster. Love the creative energy and personality that goes into these experiments, huge fan!
This is the first Test Tube I've ever completed and I loved it;
my top three are as follows:
1. PATH TO SALVATION
2. TheDirt
3. Combine Supermax
PATH TO SALVATION is fantastic, the presentation is immaculate for a competition and even though you know what's ultimately going to happen you keep going just to see more. If that's got you down; don't worry, TheDirt is right after! With one of the strangest aesthetics I've ever seen in a Source game it just OOZES personality, you can definitely tell the creator put everything into this map. Speaking of oozing personality, Combine Supermax; this one hits the brutalist Combine architecture feel right on the head with excellent lighting and atmosphere.
For my first experience in beating one of these, what an amazing lineup.
