Anyone else remember those giant scale maps that used to be in shooters? e.g. bathroom, kitchen, office, backyard, that made you feel so tiny? (beehaw.org)

I miss those so much. Any modern games still playing with this concept? I remember Half Life had the bathroom, kitchen, and office, and I remember a backyard one in Quake 3 that was really cool.

There's a freeware (open source but copyrighted art) shooter called World of Padman, that's pretty much what you're describing.

EDIT: You wanted "modern" but, it's slightly less so. Sorry.

Wow, freeware. Now that is a blast from the past. Definitely gonna have to try that out, thanks!

I get old school Quake vibes from this. I love it.

I think it's in some way based on a quake engine.

I played it years agon, maybe i need to try it again after all this time.
