Umbrella - Dunkelschwamm

Image
       This is absolutely the Umbrella from the Resident Evil franchise, if there was any doubt. Umbrella seems to have abandoned their fancy mansion labs and decided a series of boxy rooms connected by hallways is the way to go. SCMapDB page Author: Nymph Date of release: 2023 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Umbrella (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | September 27, 2026 | 3327 characters      Hey, you wanna grab some SAWs and kite some melee monsters with resident evil skins backing through big corridors with semi-functional double doors? Hop in loser, we're going to ze_umbrella.      It's hard to do a lot with the concept of machinegunning down a bunch of mostly melee enemies in what are mostly straight corridors. Every now and then there's a big tarantula enemy which replaces a bullsquid, which does add some ranged enemy combat to the mix. But, for the most part we're running backwards to not get grabbed by zombie re-m...

SCMapDB page Author: Nymph Date of release: 2023 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Umbrella (originally posted on SCMapDB) by GrandmasterJ | September 27, 2026 | 2754 characters      Yes, this map is a Resident Evil themed map. Or as themed to Resident Evil as a sterile laboratory can be. The whole map is a collection of rooms and hallways painted in metallic textures. Large Umbrella corporation logos decorate walls, ceilings, and above certain doors.      The map starts us off in an elevator, a big metal box. We open the Umbrella themed double doors to a metal room and fight some zombies with a lot of health. The room is filled with great weapons and now we are equipped to repeat that exact scenario many many times un...

Quiet Neighborhood - Dunkelschwamm

Image
       Run a simple errand of picking up some beer from the corner store, except the neighborhood is empty and a little spooky. Explore the hood, unlock new areas and weapons, fight some ne'r-do-wells, and then go back to sleep I guess. SCMapDB page Author: Hedgy Date of release: 2023 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Quiet Neighborhood (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | June 20, 2026 | 2766 characters      Quiet Neighborhood opens as a quiet exploration of a communal block but quickly becomes a zombie adventure map wherein players must hunt for keys among respawning zombies while only being able to carry one weapon at a time. There are a couple explorable apartment buildings, a not-overwhelmingly sized outdoor area, a few interesting ways that it opens up into interesting structures.      I think the simple geometry is effective at building a very moody nighttime city feel. The atmosphere is fully appreciated in the scaven...

SCMapDB page Author: Hedgy Date of release: 2023 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Quiet Neighborhood (originally posted on SCMapDB) by GrandmasterJ | July 20, 2026 | 4854 characters      From the name of the map I thought it would be a relaxed and chill time. But it's really more like a zombie infested Postal, we have to pick up beer in a hostile town. At first the streets are empty but once we pick up weapons we get swamped by zombies. Once we get the beer the zombies stop being a problem and then we party.      We start off in a square hedge room with a button that votes to start the map. Once we start the map we are in an apartment so small it was a bit hard to move around with my one teammate in the same sp...
