Reviews:

Zalewa	I felt mentally encumbered while playing this. Not bad for a jokewad, but quite bad for a normal WAD. The music made want to cut this WAD to tiny pieces with a silver teaspoon.	x
Tifosi 92	Loved the surreal nature of this. Entertaining on the whole, but a little too dark to see clearly at times. Maybe that was the point. Great if you want a wad to play for about an hour.	x

Songs:
TITLE - Alan Hankshaw - Farewell My Lovely
MAP01 - Afterburner II - Red Out
MAP02 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus
MAP03 - Thexder 95 OST - Episode 4
MAP04 - Xasthur - Blood from the Roots of the Forest part 2
Nightmare ending - Yankee Doodle

Secrets:
----- MAP 1 -----
1- Blow up the barrels near the start.
2- In the first room with crate floor, look for the different wall.

----- MAP 2 -----
1 and 2 - Explore the outside area just after you enter the map.
3 - Inside the first trap, shoot the button. It opens a wall inside the claustrophobic maze.
4 - In the second outside area, the one with the swirling sky, look carefully for the different wall.
5 - Just after 3, take the left door. Go through the green temple area to the end. After exiting the teleporter, the secret is right behind you.
6 - Just before the end of the green area, there's a part where you can fall down. You need to fall down.

----- MAP 3 -----
1 - Inside one of the bases, there's a room with a weird pillar. Explore that room carefully.
2 - Just after secret 1, you fall down into a slime pit. Look carefully inside the pit.
3 - In the ground floor of the factory, there's a switch. It lowers an elevator. The elevator leads to another switch. The second switch opens the door you can't open on the second floor. Be quick, the timing is strict.
4 - On the yellow room key, climb the elevator to the ledge with two switches. Look for the different wall.
Unmarked - You can get the treasure on top of the ledge in the yellow key room by straferunning. The floor texture is aligned to mark where you need to run.
Unmarked - You can go around one of the two stone towers before the bridge in the finale.
Unmarked - There's a small chance a BFG will spawn early in this level. It's announced by a message and highly visible. Good luck reaching it.

----- MAP 4 -----
1 - Same place as secret 2 in the first level.
Unmarked - Finish the level on Nightmare.
