Anonymous	Not all that interesting. Disagree with the above about the textures not being tacky, they are, frequently being gritty stuff that meshes poorly with the original graphics and serves mainly to try to distract from the fact that the map is a maze of bland orthogonal rooms with some pointless detailing here and there, too little use of vertical architecture and too many switches.	x
Anonymous	Pretty good level. Took me about 30 minutes to finish it up. I think he goes a little overboard on the Maulotaur's, but they're not required to be killed in order to set of a trigger so you can just flee from them. As Naan stated, design is pretty good, especially for how old it is and the usage of new textures (and imported) isn't tacky like some other WAD authors are guilty of.	x
Anonymous	average	x
Anonymous	Looks like another forgotten not-so-bad wad. The general level design is pretty, from good usage of other game's textures to well hidden secrets. But the whole thing remained very easy, I've completed it on the first try. 4/5. ~Naan	x

			  Mystkeep.txt - You are reading this file right now.
			  Mystkeep.bat - A batch file you can modify to load the game.
					 Its default setting is using JHeretic but can
					 be changed to work with [DOS] Heretic or Wheretic.
					 Default is JHERETIC with Direct3D, also it assumes the wad
					 is in the same directory as the Heretic.wad and . exe files.

Description             : This is my second attempt at a map. I released a crappy set of 9-levels last year.

Level Info		: No story here. This map is based around a temple/church theme.

Known Bugs              : Save game buffer error, use Jheretic or Wheretic to avoid it.
			  I do have some misaligned textures, ignore them.

Bug Fixes in v2.0	: I fixed up some bugs that got reported in, there are now 2 ways to exit the level.
		          After defeating D'Sparil, the exit will come down, if you go through the red teleporter you
			  will exit the level normally. If you go through the blue one, you will exit to the secret level. 
			  I did this so people who play this map as a single level would get to see statistics. 
			  The other normal exit is for people who play co-op so they can finish the episode. 
			  The map had to be E3M8 because it is the only map that allows D'Sparil to be tagged to a sector.
			  This makes sure you kill D'Sparil before getting access to the exit.

Fixed the "Too many mace spots" error in co-op play

System Requirements	: Registered Heretic v1.3
			  You should have this already, if not get it from
			  http://www.idsoftware.com.

A utility like WinZip, Winrar, Winace, or Pkunzip to unpack the contents.        
		          
			  I recommend that you use JHERETIC or WHERETIC. Both ports eliminate save game buffer errors. 	
			  Plus both ports can make use of mouse look which is what this level is made for. 
			  Modern day gaming!

			  Wheretic can be snared here http://www.raven-games.com/hosted/wheretic
