Description:	You fell for the ultimate trap. The Death Test. Caught like a fly in a spider's web. Now you're just another monster in the maze. Your jailer is a cruel demon who loves to dish out pain. Not much of a roomate. The cell you occupy seems to be some kind of secret or forgotten place. They want you to go crazy here. They want you to become a killer, a monster. But either way, you won't last long. Something bigger, stronger, maybe invisible, WILL get you. Or the desciples will sacrifice you in their temple. (It's said that some are taken back to their dismal lairs and slowly tortured to death merely for their own sick amusement.) You grit your teeth as you realize what must be done. Tomorrow you will be weaker. You must act at once! Taking out the cell guardian will be easy enough. Beyond that, only luck and low cunning can deliver you from this cursed prison...

Reviews:

Anonymous	Not that its a bad level, but whats with all the ghost walls and gates you can just walk through. 3/5 -Archy-	x
Anonymous	Wow... this guy must have been on acid when he designed this level.	x
Anonymous	Not bad, killed some time. 3/5	x
Anonymous	NOt a bad level. Plenty of ammo	x
Anonymous	A decent enough little run-around. Feels more like an eccentric DM map than an SP map, though. It's possible to exit in seconds if you know where it is. --TDotW	x

Description		: You fell for the ultimate trap. The Death Test.
                          Caught like a fly in a spider's web. Now you're
                          just another monster in the maze. Your jailer
                          is a cruel demon who loves to dish out pain.
                          Not much of a roomate. The cell you occupy
                          seems to be some kind of secret or forgotten
                          place. They want you to go crazy here. They want
                          you to become a killer, a monster. But either
                          way, you won't last long. Something bigger,
                          stronger, maybe invisible, WILL get you.  Or the
                          desciples will sacrifice you in their temple.
                          (It's said that some are taken back to their dismal
                          lairs and slowly tortured to death merely for
                          their own sick amusement.) You grit your
                          teeth as you realize what must be done. Tomorrow
                          you will be weaker. You must act at once! Taking

Player Instructions:      Treat this as a real story. This is not "Ledges".
                          You won't find tons of power-ups and gobs of
                          weapons, ammo & healing just lying around all
                          over the place. Well, weapons should be no problem
                          but to find the really cool specials/powerups
                          somebody's got to do a bit of that Indy
                          Jones thing and uncover whatever dark
                          secrets (and wonders) lie hidden within this
                          deceptively simple level. You don't have to "do
                          the quest thing" to rack up plenty of kills, but
                          I'm wagering that the "adventure component" will
                          only make victory sweeter and failure (death)
                          more worthwhile...
