About This File

The phrase "exquisite corpse" originates from a surrealist game in which sentences were created by a group of people, each person not knowing what the previous words were.

In this WAD, each of the 12 authors was given a block of space 1024x1024 units big and asked to create a part of a larger level. However, all they were given to guide them were small slivers of the previously created pieces adjacent to theirs.

The Exquisite Corpse WAD was conceived by Linguica and created by members of the Doomworld forums in early September 2004.

an interesting concept and it made for a pretty cool map.

Connectivity is better than expected with this map, despite all the different sections combined in one. The visuals are great, minus a few dull sections (mostly 4 and 8), as well as unaligned textures in sections 10 & 11 (seriously, who blows texture alignment with such a small section assigned?). Game play is a good challenge. The switch hunting at the end is annoying when you have already explored the whole map.

@ ^: you're unfair, that cybie can be killed easily without using weaponry. Having said that: interesting concept of type 1 + 1 = 3. Despite the crampiness, most of the submaps work well, and the combination makes a nice adventure. Sadly it looks like some of the authors try to outperform the others in terms of monster placement (mostly barons & AVs), and of course there is the unevitable 2nd cybie. Sigh... Overall: obviously not legendary at all, but well done.

A fun concept. The resulting map is a bit of a mitchmatch of different styles, not surprisingly, but in this case it could be well considered a strenght as well. 4/5

I hope everyone likes it, I really liked how it turned out and I assume the other authors think the same way too :) - Scrum

you forgot to tag one of the doors and you can't grab the plasma rifle in most ports. either actually test maps with something other than zdoom or just say they're for zdoom and save people some time and effort. from what i saw it's pretty nice, though the extreme inconsistency hurts it somewhat. *** -sargebaldy

Sometimes you "feel" the passage from one part to another, but overall it's a surprisingly coherent map. The good amount of details and editing ideas is constant in all parts of the map. It's not one of the easiest maps, and you better choose the right way at the beginning, or else you'll end shred by some Hellknights. But in the end, the map is hard but very fair. 4/5 -Milian

Excellent map. Also likely a classic for being the "founder" of the 1024 concept, IMO one of the greatest types of Doom mapping concepts in existence (the bottom line: longer NOT= better)!

Nice, I give it 4 stars because of the extra novelty value. I'd like to see this concept revisited sometime for sure. //Erik Alm

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
