In this map, an old mining village sits hidden in an old lake, beneath a towering dam. It is built to give access to the valuable resources the mine could provide. However, the mine is now abandoned and people are slowly moving out of the village. Players must run around, collect resources, and gear up. The weakest player will become the first Wraith.

Players can group up or spread out, and the Wraith has to find and destroy every last soul to win. Alternatively, the team of players has to find a way to kill the Wraith. If they succeed, the village will be free for another night.
