Turtle Rock Studios – the original developer of Left 4 Dead – have released DAM IT, a “campaign that was never finished, along with a couple survival maps that never shipped. Dam It stitches Dead Air and Blood Harvest together” – according to their release site.

You can download DAM IT absolutely free and play it as an add-on to the original Left 4 Dead.

It’s not perfect however, as Turtle Rock Studios notes

”   Releasing as an add-on means that our code changes are not included. Missing code means that the following features are not working:

  • Fire, smoke and explosions do not trigger panic events in the hangars.
  • Zombies do not crawl all the time in the orchard.
  • Farm house mob does not spawn in the far side of the woods.
  • Covered bridge does not collapse with explosions.
  • Burned forest area is missing wandering fires.     “

TRS has some handy dandy detailed maps on the download site to assist you through this final campaign.

Left 4 Dead released back in 2008 after Turtle Rock was purchased by Valve and renamed Valve South. Eventually, Turtle Rock split from Valve with the big V retaining the rights to Left 4 Dead and quickly releasing a sequel. The companies remained friendly and the new/old Turtle Rock even continued to work on content for both Left 4 Dead titles and the Counter Strike series.

Turtle Rock went on to create Evolve, which was originally intended for THQ, until their bankruptcy disrupted development. Turtle Rock eventually lost a bidding war for their own game as Take-Two Interactive ponied up $11 million for the un-finished game. It was eventually released to split reviews and regarded by many as a game with a great concept, but poor execution upon initial release. It was later relaunched as a F2P game titled Evolve Stage 2.

Turtle Rock recently ended developmental support for Evolve, saying “That’ll all be up to 2K on out, the same as anything Left 4 Dead related is in Valve’s hands.”

 

After the interesting road Turtle Rock has taken, it’s nice to see DAM IT released as their unfiltered vision.

 

Will you play DAM IT?

Mathew Falvai

Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
