**After receiving much feedback, many bookmarks and tons of forge frustration, Rust Garden is finally a functioning puzzle map. Those that have played the original version may have a leg up on the others, but with the new additions and changes, it may still be a fun experience to try anew.

"I can't decide what's louder, the dust or the echoes."

The Rust Garden is a puzzle adventure map with a simple goal. The players must locate four key items hidden throughout the map. In the process they shall encounter puzzles and tests of parkour ability as they attempt to locate all the hidden items. Once all the items have been located, the players may enter the end game.

Going beyond the traditional linear style puzzle map, The Rust Garden creates a mix of directed puzzle play with exploration of a high detail environment combined with an underlying narrative. My hope is that upon completion of the Rust Garden, players will be eager and willing to see what comes next in the hunt for the truth behind the mysterious happening of the past.

How to Play: The game is now fully automated! There is no longer a need for a moderator. Players must locate the four key items on the map. Once within interaction distance of the object, the players will be prompted to interact with (i.e pick up the object). Once all four have been collected, players will have access to the end game.

With the inclusion of new puzzle elements, the play style had to be altered slightly. It is recommended that this map be played co-op, with 2-4 players.

Lore: 10 years ago a Spartan team was sent to investigate strange and seemingly alien like behavior reported at the Cabuk Kolay Production and Shipping plant. Workers reported hearing strange voices, feeling sporadically nauseous and sometime even sudden temporary blindness. The last logged transmission showed that the team had arrived at the plant.

That was the last transmission received. The entire area had fallen dark.

Now, you and your team have been dispatched to close the long abandoned case. Scans show that odd encrypted messages are being broadcast at low range across the plant. Someone is trying to reach you.

Find them.
