Stormdrain is another leg in the player's journey to the office, with flood doors being the primary obstacle to circumnavigate. It has references to a shady Stalburg Underground, and several mysterious happenings.

Story

Markku exits the SNW bunker through the ventilation shafts, and finds a diary left by Xeander Berg. The diary contains details about his escape and his laments over joining SNW and asking any other escapees to contact him. It hadn't been opened before Mark's arrival. Mark continues through the ventilation shafts. He enters tunnels below a metro, and as trains pass overhead, the dust falling form the ceiling makes it obvious that this tunnel won't stand for much longer. Steam pipes in the hall have burst, and a water pipe room nearby has flooded. Mark's progress is halted by a shut flood door, where he can then either forcibly stop the flooding by turning a valve, at the expense of making the district's water supply line acidic with sewage. Alternatively, manipulating the valves to close the flush lines to stop the flood, keeping the water supply clean. Behind the flood door is a control room with fuses and colorful valves. Someone has refurbished a flood door alarm control panel into a coffee machine. Mark repairs the machine and hallucinates vividly. He finds himself in a large underground tunnel. One end has been blocked up, and water is quickly building pressure. The water meter is jammed here, locking anyone into the tunnel. The blockage breaks, and a torrent of water flushes through, drowning and crushing anyone left in the tunnel. Mark makes his way through to relative safety. An obviously mentally unstable man had set up shelter in this room, idolizing the mini-trains. Mark rides these trains through the tunnels, a stormdrain discharge system, and eventually abandons the minitrain in favor of a ventilation shaft.

Locations

Sewer

The sewer is a filthy area under Stalburg, backed up by sludge and litter, and occupied by homeless squatters.

Minitrain Rails

The minitrain rails are a barely-used system for conveying minitrains through the underground of Stalburg. Rails are not fixed, only labeled as broken. The door systems are controlled remotely by absent personnel, and some minitrains are even set running in loops without supervision.

West Stalburg Runoff Discharge System

The location the map is named after. Many of the emergency outflow gates are broken, while the facility itself has several leaks and concrete faults.

Mushroom Cellar

The mushroom cellar is a hidden and locked area around the stormdrain area. Inside is a living space, a green mushroom farm hidden inside a pipe, and a document referring to blue mushrooms with healing powers.

UGU Cave

The UGU cave is a hidden cave in the storm drains. Deep within a natural formation is a deformed statue surrounded by blue mushrooms and some blue plants hanging from the ceiling. An odd noise plays around the cave. Mark can take a picture of it, but will not comment.

Trivia

• Behind a wooden pallet in the sewer is a conveniently placed sponge next to graffiti of a pink starfish, this is possibly a reference to the American animated television series Spongebob Sqaurepants.
