The vel.gg project exposes several zombie-map launchers. Our Kino check downloaded its resources and reached Click to Start, but pointer lock failed in the test browser, so gameplay remains unconfirmed.

Identify the project and choose a map

The project landing page links to individual launchers including Kino, Five, Der Riese, Nacht, Verruckt, Shi No Numa, Ascension, Call of the Dead, Shangri-La and Moon at the time of our source review. We group that project as one directory entry rather than counting every map as an independently tested game. Seeing a map link establishes a launcher entry, not a successful test of the map or its features. Our interaction attempt used Kino der Toten; other maps were not played or timed.

What happened in the Kino check

On October 11, 2026, the start screen displayed Press Any Key to Start and a download prompt of 330.5 MB. Activating the start button produced a progress indicator; we observed it advancing and eventually reaching Click to Start. The next click reported a mouse or sound access error specifying a pointer-lock restriction in the test environment. That is why the directory distinguishes an observed load attempt from a completed control test. We did not verify a playable round, perks, scoring, multiplayer or gamepad input.

Follow the visible startup sequence

  1. Open the project root and choose the map you want, or use the Kino source link above.
  2. Read the current download prompt before committing bandwidth.
  3. Activate the start button and keep the tab open while progress advances.
  4. At Click to Start, interact with the canvas and read any mouse or audio permission message.
  5. Confirm movement and aiming before attempting a longer session. This final step was not completed in our environment.

If your browser also reports an input restriction, consult the troubleshooting guide. A fresh tab on the original project may behave differently from a constrained browser context, but that is a diagnostic possibility rather than a guaranteed fix.

Set realistic expectations for this version

The familiar map names do not establish that this deployment has every retail-game mechanic, control binding or online feature. We have not copied a general Black Ops control table into this guide. Read the current project options and onscreen bindings before relying on a particular key. The download observation is also specific to this check: future deployments can change package sizes and startup behavior. No separate installer was part of the flow we observed, but a substantial resource download was required.

Alternatives and correction details

If you want a different shooter preparation flow, read the DOOM solo guide or inspect QuakeWorld's current check. The full directory can filter shooter projects by setup. For a correction, supply the map URL, browser and whether you reached a playable round, rather than reporting only that the root page loaded. About explains our evidence labels. Sources and interaction notes were checked on October 11, 2026 against unversioned project pages; we do not assign a fabricated build number.
