General
Story
As part of a journey of self discovery, the player takes part of a trip around the world. On their second flight, the plane crashes in the Congo.
Gameplay
The map consists of several different types of gameplay, with the most common being parkour and puzzle. There are several signs, NPCs, and glowstone blocks that can both give dialogue and clues to progressing throughout the map. The Congo overworld area has natural mob spawning the player must deal with as well.
There are seven total middle checkpoints. The first middle checkpoint is after the tutorial in the starting house. The second is on the plane before the desert section. The third is after crashing into the Congo. The fourth, fifth, and sixth are inside skulls after the drop. The seventh is after the dream sequence including the ruined airport and childhood home.
Aesthetics
The main map area, the Congo aboveground, is made of a large number of jungle trees in a mountainous area walled off by dirt hills. The ruins are made of mostly stone bricks, cobblestones, and vines.
Challenges
This map is featured in 8 challenges: 2014 Assortment, Deserted, Glorious Expedition, Odyssey, Sightseeing 2020, The Path of Heroes, Hexa Chapter I: Legacy, and Hexa.
Trivia
- All of the NPCs in the map share four different player heads: Steve, PacksofPages, ilovethebeach, and Kampfsocke2000.
- Kampfsocke2000 is the head used for Pack's reoccuring character, Ken.
- Finding a specific NPC in the Congo overworld area allows the player to completely bypass the temple code puzzle.
