First Impressions:
Snowcraft Dream of Betrayl is a map designed by IRedPosion, you play as the father who was attacked by a polar bear. You wake up in a weird place where fire and lava is abundant. Signs lead you to play the first song accompanied in the zip folder.

Drinking a fire resistance potion I was led out of the area whilst reading a series of signs that spoke about Michael making you a slave for bringing your family to 'his' land.

Climbing up a ladder you see the introduction signs and you teleport to the End dimension where you see Snowcraft Dream of Betrayl in huge letters. Through a series of passages you meet this 'Jim' fellow who ends up tricking you and you are lead to the main area where you are given a shelter and some tasks to do.
 
Overall you have to obey Michael who gives you 11 tasks that must be accomplished in order to free your family and escape.


Resourcepack:
Snowcraft Dream of Betrayl uses the Moray Resourcepack with some variation to the original resourcepack, it works very nicely in ties with the music, story and overall theme and feeling of the map.

Accompanied Music:
IRedPoison gives you a series of tracks to listen to when the #QuickNote# signs tell you to listen to them. They are well chosen songs and are well versed in suiting to the storyline and the resourcepack altogether.

Grammar:
Overall grammar and spelling is okay, however there are spelling errors in the Rules section which haven't been fixed up yet. I hope that these can be fixed soon as this map has the potential to have a second map after it, a continuation of the story per say. However I think that the creator needs to check over the spelling in order for the grammar and spelling to be perfect.




Negatives:
I don't really have any negatives however I think that the map could have been expanded more, after travelling for a bit the border is fairly easy to reach.

Suggestions:
1- Use 1.8 barrier blocks to prevent the player from leaving Michael's land, this would be useful in that the player cannot truly leave the land.
2- Damaged slave armour would make surviving slightly easier and also encourage the player to gain better armour while they are obeying the orders of Michael
3- I'd reccomend the creator to re-check many of the signs he's placed to double check for spelling errors

Overall rating:
Overall the map Snowcraft Dream of Betrayl is a very well put together map, the storyline is very basic but it draws the player into the story, the songs add the ambiance and the feels of the situation, even at the start with the first song I feel the sense of dread, of confusion. The map is well sized but could be expanded or have future barrier blocks prevent the player from escaping.

There are various little segments such as survivors and you can read their diaries which provide a handy insight and involves you more deeply into the story. I haven't completely done this campaign however I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to this as this has a great storyline, it is simply done and overall I would rate this a 9/10.
