Asylum of the Wretched

I like that kind of athmposphere. Very good and intense. 5/5 Reinchard

It was ok for its time. 3/5

great music, great level design, legendary, my second favorite wad of all time - Russell

Playing this mod made me realise DOOM can still be frightening. Amazing title. One little question, though... What is the difference between this version and the other one available right here at the archives? Thanks!

This is a large, atmospheric, and very spartan level that works more as an atmospheric experience than a playable Doom map. It's very dark and the design is simple, but effectively creepy. The asylum is mostly empty, with lots of prison cells. a bit mazey. 100 monsters, spread over a large area. Almost no ammo and health, so you basically have to get it right first time. Excellent sound replacement. Doesn't quite feel like the classic it is heralded as, though.

Wow. You can definitely tell that this came from someone who certainly knew what they were doing. Undoubtably the best WAD I've seen so far, and it's the scariest level I've ever seen in Doom. It's certainly one that I will tell all my Doom player friends about. -- NegaZero

For me it's awful. Could be good for the advencture, but what is doom without fight??

I would have wanted to like this level. It is made with expectional standards. Very atmospheric with good visual design and lots of cool details. But it's darn hard. Maybe i'm just a newb, but temptation to cheat became overhelming. The level also starts to sort of sag somewhere in the middle, as some tricks used start to repeat themselves. Nevertheless I would recommend downloading as long as you're not expecting normal run & gun level.

Definitely the scariest. Can't say the best, but definitely a good job on making it scary. I'd say 5 if you had the amount of detail plunked into Hellcore 2.0. That is the definition of detail.

Great atmosphere, I wish I could achieve something like that, 5 stars, please! - Curunir

VERY good, and atmospheric, one of the scariest, most un-nerving wads ever, its very dark, you have no weapons and hardly any health, and youre lost in a huge citadel, while screams of the agnoised prisoners reach your ears..an essential download!

Doom 2's Doom 3. Enough said.

One of the greatest wads ever.

Original idea, but it isn't that scary. Overall: 3/5

Simply. Fucking. Awesome. 5/5 -Maes

It's atmospheric for sure, but also dark (as in no lights, not goth), mazey, blind mapped, lonely and more run than run n shoot. I'm not as big a fan of exploring as I am of blowing stuff up, and you don't get to blow much up in this one.

Fairly good atmosphere, and some neat tricks and effects here and there, but overall a little underwhelming. 3/5

Best map ever played. 5/5 --Darkfyre

Masterpiece. One of the best ever.
