If you’ve enjoyed blasting through trenches, castles, and battlefields, now’s your chance to show some love for our retro FPS. Every vote counts, and your support means the world to us! As you cast your vote, here’s a small detail from the game’s development that we wanted to share - secret levels. These unique maps gave our designers the chance to experiment with layouts and create something different from the main campaign.

That's the kind of fever dreams Only Lead's secret levels were based on. Sticking out quite a bit from the more grounded levels in each episode, the secret levels crank the supernatural and weird up to 11. When they were designed, they were intentionally made to divert from the rest of the episode. A map where the level designer could go a bit crazy with the structures and layouts and experiment with the assets. A place where the players would ask themselves afterwards; "Did that really happen?". The player's fever dream. Unbelievable structures and dungeons hiding just out of sight for the average freedom fighter. Some are reachable directly, if you know the path. Other hidden carefully, only found by the most perceptive minds.

When all is prepared, you may descend into eternal night. Three clicks to reveal what's hidden, one to break the spell. When the woman dances to the heavens, down you shall go to hell."[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42012077/9442ffae68ce6118a892f13c336c468fc92946c0.png[/img]
