WHISPERS OF SATAN: EASTER EGGS AND TOP SECRETS
Kristian Aro came up with the idea of the project back during a discussion between me and him on the porch of a remote summer cottage when I was in Finland in 2005. I (Paul) came up with the name the following year.
* MAP01 has a Zdoom exclusive secret exit which is hidden on the automap and does not count as an official secret. Anyway, when you reach the exit room, turn around and go back (or back track) to the starting room and you will be sent to a hidden warp zone level (MAP99) with the choices of MAP10 or MAP27.
* The sky used from MAP07 to MAP11 is an original sky made by Paul.
* MAP12 was the first level to be made for Whispers of Satan. It was originally going to be MAP25.
* In MAP16 where the Red Key is located are two windows looking out to a very dark area of blood and gore and scrubs. Look through the right window and fire and you'll see the ghostly face of SJASFACE from the Ghoul's Forest. Linedef #4954
* In MAP19 there is a message saying IN LOVING MEMORY OF LINDA on the automap. This message was dedicated to Kristian Aro's girlfriend Linda who passed away a few years ago.
* In MAP22 there is a hidden area which can be accessed near the Plasma Gun in the dark bloody wooden area in the west of the map. By pressing on a secret door you will be teleported to a bizarre secret area containing Sphongle Heads and a colourful Bike Rider who is the inventor of LSD, Albert Hoffmann
* In MAP24 in the far west cave you must execute an Arch Vile jump in order to get up to the switch. But there is also a secret door with a teleporter up to the platform if you accidentally kill the Arch Vile.
* The Sky used from MAP25-29 was taken from Doom 3's final hell level, modified and changed red.
* The red sky in the final area of MAP26 was made by Paul from scratch. The same can be said for the blue sky in MAP30. This area was to resemble the deep interior of a gas giant planet with the sunlit sky above and the dark bottomless pit below.
* The Cyberdemon at the start of MAP25 is intended to scare the player. As you play through the map you wonder where that Cyberdemon went to? - Once you've obtained all keys the awful truth is revealed in the starting area. You must fight the Cyberdemon in order to advance to the next map.
* The Arch Vile growls serve as a warning for danger in MAP25.
* In MAP29 take the Yellow Skull key route. You will end up in a wooden area. Take the right door down to a room where you have to build a staircase. Besides the staircase two Cacodemons and Pail Elementals pop out from dark acloves. Try to strafe into one of the Acloves off the staircase and move to the dark back. You will be teleported to death with a horrible message saying there is no secret here.
* In the red keycard area of MAP29 there is a small lava cave in the center west of the map with lost souls. The rock formations spell the name C A R M E N on the automap. A tribute to her lab in Simply Phobos and her lair in Death Tormention 3.
* After going through the blue skull portal. You will be in the big east canyon in MAP29 you will notice how the rocks/sectors spell the name K R I S E in dedication of WOS project leader Kristian Aro. Sectors 1275 and 1277 are also interesting.
* In the Blue area of MAP30 SJASFACE reappears above the far SW corner pillar in the darkness. Linedef #6477
* MAP32's German name Ultimative Gehemeinis translates to Ultimate Secret in english.
* The cartoon DJ's in MAP33 is a drawing by a guy named Scott Baxter from Wynyard, Tasmania. The DJ guy on the left is actually Paul Corfiatis dressed up as a rapper.
* MAP34's boss is the titlepic skull from Heretic. This was going to be the original MAP30 boss from WOS but Kristian told me to use the traditonal Icon of Sin.
* MAP35's German name Ein Lugister Ort translates to A Funny Secret in english.
* The hidden graveyard in MAP35 contains the graves of Paul Corfiatis, Kristian Aro, Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee, Albert Einstein and others.
* In Room #1 of MAP35, pressing on the Push Hier words on the wall behind the door teleports the player to a room with instructions written in German on how to beat the level.
