This map was built around one clear goal: 👉 Keep it fast, keep it fun, keep it simple.

It’s not meant to be a sweaty, competitive experience - it’s all about quick rounds, smooth flow, and clean fights. Designed for Deathmatch, Retake, Gun Game, or small team games like 3v3 or 4v4, but it works with any setup you want - even 10v10 if you’re feeling chaotic.

The layout focuses on:

• Classic two bombsites close enough for fast rotations
• Three meeting points that keep rounds active and unpredictable
• A one-way drop path for quick B→A rotations and creative retakes

Everything was built to feel readable, fair, and satisfying to move through.

Art from the fantasy book?

Its still greybox ( it will be greybox forever ) but you can feel that the visual theme is something you don’t usually see in CS2 - a stylized mix of fantasy-inspired ruins on swamps, built modularly for a clean and readable look. It’s not a realistic location, it’s more like a small storybook world, with wet mossy stones, overgrown plants, and soft lighting.

One of my friends said “this looks like we should be shooting spells instead of bullets” and that’s exactly the vibe I wanted. It’s playful, colorful, and chill, but still perfectly functional for Counter-Strike gameplay.

Oh, and yes there’s a police van parked in the middle of the ancient ruins. Don’t ask why. The CTs got there first. 😅
