Looking for an old puzzle solving map

Hello Hiveworkshop! It's exciting to finally have joined this community!

So, I was looking for this map that focuses on puzzle solving. I have forgotten the name of the map and am therefore having a difficult time finding it, but I can still recall some of its contents. I played this map like, 10 years ago and found it interesting, but couldn't finish it back then. And now I wanted to play it properly again, so please, any help would be great!

So here's what I remember about the map:

The plot: I remember the information given about the map tells this story about protagonist hearing his grandma telling him a tale of a lost island when he was a child, so he decides to find out.

The content: The player controls a footman, you basically explore around the map, investigate different locations, get items and use them at the right place to travel further. Failing at some puzzles may kill your footman and requires you to load a save or restart.

Some puzzles I remember (vaguely):

· There was this puzzle where you have to choose a right slate to stand on, and if you did it wrong, your footman gets entangled and died.
· I could remember a puzzle triggers an icey bridge through which you can go to the next area when solved, something about the season, perhaps?
· One of the items I could recall is a flint, but I couldn't recall other stuff any longer...

I apologize for these probably useless information but this is really all I could remember and I really, really want to finish this map!
If you find my description above somehow familiar to a map you've played, please let me know! Any information would help!
 
It could be this one:
Check comment of Vengeancekael, who apparently uploaded a fixed version.

And welcome!
Hello, A]mun! Thank you so much for replying!

Sadly, this is not what I've been looking for. Because the map I remembered doesn't have any horror and combat element, and the players control a footman, the basic unit of human. But I've played this map you've mentioned before, it's quite interesting, indeed! The camera setting stuff is quite creative! Thank you again for your reply!

if the ~razor that kills you~ rings a bell... its the correct one

Hello, bertolossi! Thank you so much for replying!
Sadly, this is not the map I am looking for. As I remembered about the map, first, the unit players control is a footman, not a peasant, and the footman should be unable to attack as well. Second, the map is rather serious, and does not have a narrator. Third, the footman we control is unable to be resurrected. I remember if the footman I control died, the map didn't pop out the mission failed window but there wouldn't be anything you could do other than restarting or loading a save. However, this map is close enough! I think it used the same tileset as the map I remembered. I tried this map, and it is interesting! I'm already stuck at the door that requires you to kill the sheep though lol. Thank you again! I appreciate your help so much!
