This one's all about environmental storytelling. The good stuff. The stuff that separates a stale walking simulator from a good time. It's a sore point for mappers old and new, and we're going to fix that once and for all with that competition. No puzzles where necessary. The focus is mainly on some rich storytelling through the world, the environment of the world participants made. Experience the world through the details, finding hints and suggestions of happenings past.
