Snowfall's mission is to enter this astronomy outpost, find out what's causing neutrino bursts, and shut it down.
Plot[]
A strange signal composed of neutrinos was picked up by a space observation center located near the South pole. After 6 years of searching, the source was traced back to its location at Umbriel, one of the moons of Uranus. Your objective is to de-activate the transmitter, to avoid drawing attention to Sol system from unknown alien species. However, first you must download the blueprints and schematics of the device. Whilst risky, this powerful and advanced tech is too valuable to destroy completely.
Gameplay[]
First go left and hit the switch next to the security monitor. Head to the other side and up to the control panel, then hit the switch to lower the lift outside. Eventually you'll find a small garden. Around here are residential rooms. One at the end contains a red keycard. Return to the other side and use it in the security control room (this will spawn a couple of wasp drones though). Go down the elevator and wreck some turrets. Head right and find some offices eventually. Downstairs of the offices is a blue keycard guarded by some robots. Go back up and get the blueprints off the computer (watch out for the Sentry Bot).
Head through the opening on the right, grab the gold key and use it on the tool shop door. Get the toolbox inside (you can also find a nailgun here). Repair the broken elevator with it on the other side of the hallway. Head left and up the ladder into the control room, dispose of security robots here and unlock the airlock door. Head through the tight maintenance room full of wires and laser tripbombs and find a blue tech card. Go through the airlock and put on a radiation suit. Use the key. You now have only 7 minutes to head back to the beginning of the level. Expectantly, robots will try to interfere and you'll be taking a path slightly different with all the sealed doors and wreckage.
Secrets[]
Next to the first elevator, jump onto the stack of crates, then onto a ledge above the security office for some health.
In the living quarters, exit the airlock, then enter one of the locked apartments through its broken window for a heavy machine gun, armour and an encouraging cat meme.
On the bottom floor, before going into the reactor, look up and jump into the gap in the ceiling grates for a lightning gun and a toilet.
When you put on the suit and reach the reactor, jump down and go left. You'll find a dead body, slot 7 weapon and a Tesla AR.
During the self-destruct run, the secret will be on top of a large, blue cylinder. There are barrels nearby to help you reach it.
Secret #3
Secret #5
Weapons & Artifacts[]
Tesla AR (Weapon for Snowfall): Found in secret #4 described above.
Access to secret level Charon - scan the planet in the office area next to the blue keycard with your PDU.
Bottle cap on a desk in an office near the computer where you need to extract blueprints.
In the partially opened supply door located in the garden, there's a souvenir on a shelf inside.
Dopefish mug souvenir can be found in secret #4 area.
In the outside vacuum next to the living quarters and secret #2, there is a ladder that you can jump to. Climb it and follow the catwalk in which you can find a Snowfall Chibi.
Just like Forgotten Tomb and Pipedream, the level was originally a user map for AMC before being adapted and enhanced for Episode 3 proper.
