This is the first CoDWaW map created by matpatcholywack and losangeles26.  The final version was uploaded Aug. 10th 2012… coffee1


Influence: Movie Clash of the Titans

Greek Mythology: The Greeks held elaborate funerals to help the soul of the departed find his or her way to the afterworld. The underworld was sometimes called Hades in honor of the god of the underworld – Hades.  But it was not Hades who helped you reach the afterworld. They believed that the god Hermes – the messenger – acted rather like a host. Hermes led the soul to the shores of the mythical River Styx. The River Styx supposedly separated the world of the living from the world of the dead. The deal was you had to cross the River Styx to reach life after death. The ancient Greeks did not expect souls to swim across. Instead, they believed a ferryman named Charon would give you a ride on his boat. (Explanation taken from http://greece.mrdonn.org/greekgods/riverstyx.html)

Story:  You are stuck on an undead island in the middle of the River Styx –
trapped between the world of the living and the world of the dead.  
You are trying to save up enough money to pay Charon the Ferryman to
take you back across the River Styx to the world of the living.  
Your choices and skills at killing zombies will determine your fate.  
Do you deserve to have another chance at life or
are you destined to die here on the island and become just another zombie?
