Norwood Prairie

Norwood Prairie is a map in White Noise 2. It was one of the two maps to be available from the Early Access release, the other being St. John's Hospital.

## Description

A peaceful grove, away from the worldly noise of the big cities.

Locals know that it's not a good idea to enter it during night.

### Appearance

Norwood Prairie is an almost completely open area map, with very few obstacles in the way, allowing investigators and the creature to take the most direct route to their objectives. Large boulders border the outskirts of the map to signify the edge of the map has been reached. Rivers separate certain portions of the map, and bridges must be crossed for players to reach each segment. The majority of the map's landmarks consist of various stone structures such as stone walls, fountains, and occasional ruins or old buildings.
