— Erebus publicity blurb

” |
Erebus is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map released during the Scream Fortress 2021 update. It is set in a haunted mine at night, located somewhere in a forest. A nearby volcano and hydroelectric dam overflowing with lava have caused pits of lava to open up on the map. It is a Halloween version of Ambush.
In Erebus, the goal of the attackers, BLU, is to win through a series of stages in order to win the map. Within each stage, the attackers must capture two control points, A and B, which are held by the defenders, RED. Point A must be captured before the attackers can assault B.
Erebus was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
