CURSE OF THE SPICE ISLAND
CHAPTER 1

It starts with:
full


And now you're in this situation:

full

In the late 17th century, you and your friends sailed to the Moluccas in search of great fortune in spice trade. However, while travelling between local islands, a ghastly storm devastated your ship, and you found yourself stranded in a mysterious island along with your partners and a local interpreter.

The local guide shuddered as he realised you and your crew were standing on a forbidden island, inhabited by supernatural beings. Your water supply ran out, and there was no sign of rain. Parched, you had no choice but to undergo a dangerous journey...

Q&A
Q: The author?
A: Ebilun#1968 (Battlenet), KingB00ker is my Hiveworkshop account. After 10+ years of hiatus I'm back!!!

Q: The goal of this map?

A: It's an escape map. Basically you try to clear stages without spending all of your life points.

Q: Is this map finished?
A: This version only contains Chapter 1. Chapter 2-4 are planned. However, chapter 1 itself already provides quiet a long gameplay and can be considered a finished escape map on its own!

Q: Do we need Reforged?
A: The map's eerie atmosphere is more pronounced in WCIII: Reforged, so Reforged is recommended. However, it's not necessary. Also some imported models (not too many) still use SD quality instead of HD.

Q: Can this map be played on single player?
A: Possible, but could be rather hard on some stages. Especially on stages that requires combat, you need to be patient and dispose of your enemies one by one (while consuming healing kits in between). At least 2 players are recommended.

Q: Is this map scary / contain jump scares?
A: Although the setting is supernatural, this map doesn't contain surprises/jump scares/random deaths. Most if not all challenges are intuitive and skill-based :)

Q: What about the religious references?
A: I don't commend nor condemn any religions/beliefs/or lack-thereof. The references are there due to the historical setting, which was a mysterious island on the Moluccas archipelago in the late 17th century.

Q: This is quiet a niche setting. Any references for history geek?
A: Although inspired by history, the setting - pertaining to this mysterious island - is fictional. However it's largely inspired by: Dutch conquest of the Banda Islands

That's all folks! Please gather as a group of 2-6 and enjoy the map!

Interesting concept for a map. Nicely executed content will always be appreciated. Sort of a bummer that there's only one chapter. I would love to see more, and I'm quite sure you intend to add! Set to approved !

Wow. This map is really Indonesian-style (Nusantara). Some Muslim-related terms can be seen.
Unfortunately, it's Reforged map, so I can't play it on Classic.
Edit: Looks like they turned Warcraft III into DreadOut.
