Intro: I tried a few maps that I disliked before I started playing this one. Ugh, some of the stuff people release.... it's damned scary. :p Thankfully there's guys like Exl around to help save the day...

Comments: First of all this is a set of 5 maps and what a fine set... I played on UV using GZDoom and the ammo was tight in spots and abundant in other places. In one place I was so low on ammo that I had to run away from several revenants that teleported in.... that was pretty crazy. The hellish maps look great once you get off the base at the start of the set. There is a lot of atmosphere here and Exl did a fine job of making a very hellish place and the additional ambient soundtrack adds a lot to the atmosphere (try wearing headphone with this one).. I especially enjoyed everything up to the point where you end up in a massive outside area with enough enemies to shingle hell and.... it was tough but I survived, figured out the puzzle and made it out of there alive. The final map ended up being another puzzle and I eventually figured out what to do and finished with 17 health.. In my opinion this wad is worth playing just to experience the first couple maps and the rest is good too.... there's some really cool looking areas to explore and Exl isn't cheap with the secret areas, many of which I didn't even find (I missed 10). So yeah, this one is worthy of level of the day, so go play the damned thing and enjoy yourself.... took me 101 minutes to complete.

Author Sayeth: A short trip through hell, set on by a classic Doom story. Originally intended as just a Boom compatible level, I got a little carried away with it, especially the ending credits\scenes. It carries in at over 10 Mb because of the ambient sounds used... so turn off any music you have playing, turn up the volume on other music in ZDoom and enjoy!
