About This File

A small, dark, gothic style doom1 map - 262kb when unzipped.

I suggest you turn the lights down for this one. I have tried to create a genuinely eerie atmosphere - lots of long shadows, silhouettes etc. Just in case you don't have Ultimate Doom, I have included the yellow sky which looks sooooooo good!!

Ammo is strictly limited. This is not an insane 'all rocket launchers blazing' affair, instead aim carefully and shoot wisely. If you don't like that sort of map then that's too bad!

..No, you don't need any source port for this wad. Doom is a great game and best left untouched...

I would really like to see some .lmp's of people playing my wads. 100% kills on UV? - well I'd like to see it! Please feel free to mail me your demo recordings (v1.9 compatible please).

The texturing and detailing are pretty good but the map is very cramped. You'll frequently get stuck on little details or want to pass through spots only find there's just barely too little room, which is frustrating. Ammo is quite low, so you'll have to think carefully about how you use it. Which isn't a bad thing at all, it's a different experience than usual. There are a few new sounds (replacing the pistol, shotgun, and chaingun noises), all of which sound absolutely terrible. Overall though, the experience is okay. It's a short but moderately challenging map that will take a few tries to complete and isn't a waste of 10-15 minutes.

This is an atmospheric early level from a man who went on to do the ace "Monolith" series. It looks wonderful - a kind of gothic church, with lots of shadows. There's a decent load of tough monsters. Against it, it's a bit cramped, and it seems odd that the lava doesn't hurt. Ammo is a bit too stingy (you really need to save those rockets, because there's one jump that's almost impossible without them). Still, it's fab for 1998, still impressive today.

for its age (today 2009) it is quite a good map, it is nicely arranged and looks good but I don`t like the fights 3/5

      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 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.
