Shi No Numa

BO1

A Japanese research facility sunk in a swamp, the first Zombies map with a story, named characters and a proper set of perks. Shi No Numa gave the series Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen, the Wunderwaffe DG-2, and the hellhound rounds as a permanent fixture rather than a surprise.

The four huts open one by one, each with a perk arriving by zip line, and the swamp between them slows every step you take outside the walkways. The Mystery Box moves from hut to hut, which makes chasing it a decision rather than a habit.

The First Room is the central hut where the game opens, with four doors and four paths out. Holding it means defending a square against a horde that comes from every direction at once, with the weapons on the hut walls and nothing else. The moment you step off the boards into the water, you are slower than what is chasing you.
