The first level is the best for awhile in this episode length wad. It’s detailed and atmospheric and sets up a gripping DOOM adventure but I don’t think this wad sells its weirdness well enough after that. The first level is a creepy manor and then the second is a huge underground system of aquaducts and ruins the mysterious spell the first level conjured.
The gameplay is very good. The wad is mostly medium-sized levels but it earns the sprawling mega-maps that it has and despite the first half of the wad not selling it’s strangeness well enough, the backhalf gets trippy while treating the player to a series of escalating combat encounters. Not superhard encounters but challenging ones.
I’d recommend playing this wad because it’s not terribly long and a good downward trek into the unknowable underground.
