Lost in Darkness [2.0.23]

[!-PRO-log-!]

„Remember your worst nightmare. What if you couldn't wake up?“

 

Lost in Darkness is a unique and unforgiving survival horror mod in which you will play as an exorcist who finds himself in a mysterious world of darkness. You will constantly experience a lack of resources, fear and great stress when exploring the location and meeting enemies. The fights with the entities here are memorable. Almost every enemy has unique attack patterns, their own tactics and weaknesses. It is very important to be able to fight in close combat, as you need to constantly save ammunition, medicine and other resources. Anomalies and radiation zones may appear in locations, so be careful, use bolts and a gas mask, and adapt to the environment. Each completed level here is a test. Death will be very frequent until you understand the rules of this unknown world. Only faith in God will soften suffering

 

Advantages:

1. Unique atmosphere. Religion and occultism mixed together with stalker

2. Incredible sound design. All sounds are made at the highest level

3. Unique and interesting immersive sim mechanics

 

Main inspirers:

1. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

2. Nosferatu the Wrath of Malachi

3. Faith: The Unholy Trinity

4. Darkwood

 

 

I warn you. The balance in the mod is not perfect, so I recommend that you first play on the maps of the original doom 1/2

 

Recommended wads - Hadephobia, Equinox, Abyss

 

GZDOOM port recommended. I warn you that on Gzdoom 4.12 the mod may freeze.  4.11.3 recommended

1. The crucifix should be used against ghosts and possessed people. The crucifix weapon capable of destroying a ghost, it stuns and frightens those possessed.
2. The spray should be used against insects and other small enemies.
3. In the dark, a severed hand can grab you by the throat. To get rid of it, you need to quickly click on the alternative attack several times.
4. Save medicine, ammunition and other resources. Use melee weapons or avoid enemies.
5. Don't run all the time, you'll waste the required stamina and have a high chance of either running straight into an anomaly or a deadly monster waiting just around the corner.
Be careful, use your dodge(Dash) ability, which can sometimes give you a huge advantage, time your dodge correctly and you can save your life.
6. Be sure to turn on the anomaly detector, you will be able to detect a wide range of anomalies scattered throughout the maps. If you throw a bolt at the anomaly, it will activate and you will be able to run through it.
There is also a chance that the anomaly will contain an artifact that will appear in front of you if you approach it a short distance. It can also break if stepped on.
Artifacts are very powerful items that give you different abilities depending on what kind of artifact you have (such as an electric blast).
They are used up after you use them.
7. Also, don’t forget to turn on the Geiger counter as you may not notice how your radiation level is increasing, which can be seen on the left on the icon
8. All enemies have unique abilities and attacks. So you need to use different strategies to deal with them. Remember to make the most of the items and weapons you have and also use the environment.
9. Many corpses can be searched using the use key

10. The flashlight can hold a maximum of 300 units of energy. One battery gives 150

11. Aim while shooting to reduce spread

What is "A.L.A.L.N" stands for? I heard only about "A.L.A.N." and there was no any exploration either...

 

P.S.: Also, please, do some compressing. Your music can be compressed from ~300 Mb to just ~66.6 Mb...

 

P.P.S.: I get this error while attempting to load "Hell On Earth" episode via "Doom_Complete.pk3":

Spoiler

All other stuff (like all four episodes from "Ultimate Doom", "Sigil", "NRFTL", "Master Levels", "TNT" and "Plutonia" works just fine)

I wrote in the readme that before starting doom 2, you need to remove the addon "d2-in-d1-v3.pk3". PLEASE READ THE README CAREFULLY. Also, I will take into account your remark with music

Kinda strange, to be honest. I mean, I am using "Doom_Complete.pk3", 'cause there is almost all official Doom IWADs in one package...

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.4] added 5 new monsters, fixed bugs, fixed and updated readme. Credits are also listed in the archive

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.4.1] Monster spawn fixed, credit fixed

[RastaManGames]

In V1.3 there was no "Project Horror" (if I remember right).
I've downloaded V1.4.1 with "Project Horror" and with new music pack ("Dark Ambient №3" instead of "ADAMP №2")...

Where is all enemies? I feel myself so lonely...

I checked, yes it's because of the project horror, I'll fix it

Okay! Thanks...

I mean... There was only rare Pinky replacements (Hell Hounds from the "Blood") and Cyberdemon replacement (smoke from the "LOST")...

And that was strange' cause "Project Malice" itself contains huge variety of monsters!

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.5] added two new weapons - an ax and a hook, as well as a new monster poltergeist, + changes in balance, and another new difficulty level "Realistic"

Edited October 15, 2022 by !-PRO-log-!

[1.6] Added two new monsters, fixed bugs

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.7] Tweaked the difficulty balance a bit, changed some old environment sounds, added custom menu background

how do you activate weapon wheel

The weapon wheel that I used in my video is a built-in feature in the delta touch program that helps to launch doom on the phone

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.8] Changed the gameplay. This is no longer doom3, but rather survival horror. Ammunition and medicine spawn less frequently, monsters reduced, molotov cocktail added, anomalies added from stalker game, two new monsters added, healing fluid vial added, flask drinking changed, player damage sounds changed, player death sound changed, readme file changed, and many other changes.

mod is for lzdoom

[Assassin36789]

I can't seem to get the mod to work. Every time I load it the hud at the bottom is like the classic doom 2 hud but no information just textures and none of the enemies spawn.

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.9] A cross has been added that can now scare away the possessed and kill a ghost, zones with radiation have been added, a gas mask has been added, filters have been added to it, antirad has been added, some little things have been fixed, a new save mechanic has been added, now you need to save with the help of a book that is spent, bolts have been added, improved body search mechanics, added detector, added geiger counter

[1.9.1] Small fix in the update. Restored a hud that I accidentally deleted

[RastaManGames]

I am getting crash on GZDoom 4.10.0 and LZDoom 3.88B after trying to start new game on easy difficulty:

Spoiler

Possibly, it was caused by loading up "D2-In-D1-V3.pk3"...

I guess that this file is dangerous to load outside of "doomu.wad" IWAD?

[1.9.2] Bandages are now an inventory item, the cross is now at 6, monster spawn has been slightly changed, some problems have been fixed.

[Arkadius1337]

 

I've used the correct mod order and LZDOOM 3.88b. The mod is completely broken for me. Why?

do you have the mod running? If it starts then there should be no problem.

Is it supposed to look like this? It starts me with a full inventory and the hud looks broken.

Here's my launcher, btw. And I have tried with a clean LZDoom, with all the default options. Same thing.

you need to go to "options" -> "hud options" -> "alternate hud" -> "enable alternate hud", set it to off

[!-PRO-log-!]

[1.9.3] Fixed some bugs, increased the damage of some types of weapons, increased the speed of using the bandage, slightly reworked the spawn of monsters and items, improved the code of the cross
