Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The Forgotten City (inspired by Chernobyl)

Theme / Atmosphere:
An abandoned, eerie city swallowed by nature. Inspired by Pripyat after the Chernobyl disaster – empty buildings, rusting ferris wheel, broken swimming pools, gas masks scattered across the ground. A perfect ghost town taken by the Entity.
Main Landmark (Map Center):
- A Ferris Wheel visible in the distance, partially collapsed.
- Survivors can see it from many points, helping with orientation.
Other Key Areas:
- Abandoned School – long hallways, broken desks, peeling walls.
- Empty Swimming Pool – cracked tiles, debris, echoing atmosphere.
- Apartment Block Courtyard – overgrown, with cars left behind in a hurry.
- Reactor Ruins (distorted by the Entity) – glowing in unnatural light, adding horror effect.
Gameplay Notes:
- Tall buildings provide vertical silhouettes but remain closed inside (for performance and fairness).
- Generators scattered between urban and industrial zones.
- Many line-of-sight blockers: trees, walls, broken vehicles.
Lore Idea:
The Entity took a fragment of an abandoned Soviet town and twisted it into a nightmare. Survivors don’t just face the killer – they feel the haunting silence of a world that ended overnight.
