Last Stop - Chapter 1

The first chapter of Last Stop introduces 3 new escape maps. It's the first campaign ever created for Contagion!

This campaign has been in the works for a while now, and thanks to Nicolas Nugent (i EN PiNK SToRM), we managed to finish the first Chapter. The second Chapter is also in the works, of course, more information will be out once It's done.

Story

Last Stop, unlike other self contained levels, has a proper story behind it. The survivors managed to reach Union Station for an evac. But to their dismay, instead of finding other survivors the entire station was overrun with zombies.

That is the short summary of the first chapter. There is more story telling to be found in the map, however, you need to find by yourself. The story can of course be ignored, but it's there for those who are interested in it.

New Survivor

Mike R. Gonzales "The Engineer", is a new character for Contagion. Voiced by our very own community manager, LordCommanderGuts. He is a new character that works at a fictional company in Last Stop that you will pass trough on the 3rd map on Chapter 1.
