The level is present in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', but it is only accessible via hacking. Although the level is devoid of enemies in this early game version, its [[WAD]] and [[VLO]] files suggest that in addition to the Jabberwocky, [[spiders]] were going to appear in the level. | The level is present in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', but it is only accessible via hacking.

Much like the similar [[Mud Slide]] level, The Silver Wood is not linear; there are several divergent paths Dan can take through the woods to find various unique sights, such as a swampy area with a waterfall, a path lined with spikes leading to a pair of Buddha statues, and a cobweb spider tunnel. However, all the paths eventually converge, leading to the same exit. | Much like the similar [[Mud Slide]] level, The Silver Wood is not linear; there are several divergent paths Dan can take through the woods to find various unique sights, such as a swampy area with a waterfall, a path lined with spikes leading to a pair of Buddha statues, and a cobweb spider tunnel.

(i think it’s been long enough that i can say that without getting killed?)}} | |||
