4-Map Campaign

Experience a full-length campaign that whisks you away to numerous exotic locales throughout history: the Old West, a space station, a medieval castle, and more!

Time to Die is a debut campaign made entirely by one person (that's me!) over the course of 11 months. The difficulty and average completion time is on par with what you'd expect from an official Valve campaign, but with an extra layer of weirdness added on top.

Last Stand Weapons, Skins & More

Every new weapon added in The Last Stand Update has at least one scripted spawn for players to find, Counter-Strike weapons included. Several weapon skins from The Last Stand also make an appearance, along with textures and unused dialogue from the update.

Custom Survivor Conversations

Do you ever think it's awkward when you play a custom campaign and the survivors never talk to each other? Time to Die has got you covered, with over a dozen new conversations made by remixing survivor dialogue into natural-sounding exchanges.

Survivors will call out directions as they traverse the paradoxical timescape, they'll make plans in every safe room, and if you like exploring, you might hear some petty squabbles that make you laugh.

And More!

Time to Die also features custom graffiti, bizarre easter eggs, nonlethal platforming, font-related humor, and secrets galore.

Let me know what easter eggs you find in the comments! One of these days I'll make a video showcase, but until then, it's up to you to find them all...

Special Thanks

Hi, Kyle here. I don't have many people to thank since this campaign was a solo effort, but I'd like to start by thanking my wife for being a constant source of emotional support since I started this crazy venture on Nov. 1, 2019.

I also want to give a huge shout-out to the Last Stand Update Team and Valve for allowing me to make this campaign in the first place. More directly, thanks to Jaiz, Lt. Rocky, Teacyn, and Serene for providing feedback in the comments that helped me fix a few issues in the 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 patches.

Finally, thanks in advance to every player who downloads this campaign -- that's you, hopefully!

If you'd like to help support me in these trying times, please consider dropping me a dollar on my PayPal.[paypal.me]

Oh, and I guess I should leave this here, too. I'm not spoiling why, though...

Steam Deck Info

Time to Die is fully playable on Steam Deck, tested by yours truly. At the highest graphics settings, there are frame rate drops during the finale (40 FPS minimum), but I encountered no other issues.

Install & use Install: Left 4 Dead 2 custom map (.vpk)

  1. Custom maps ship as .vpk files too: unzip and copy the .vpk into the left4dead2/addons folder.
  2. Launch the game and pick the map from the Add-on Campaigns list in the main menu.
  3. If it does not show up, load it from the console (enable it in options first) with: map <mapname> — the name is usually in the bundled readme.
  4. In multiplayer, the host and every player need the same map installed.

Keep map versions in sync for multiplayer; large maps take a while to load the first time.
