i'm not sure why this isn't being rated too well, its not the most conventional looking doom wad nor is it the most visually appealing (i'm looking at you Womb walkway, made me feel queezy), but it has so much heart put in to it and scumhead is dedicated to it, i really have to admire what he's done here

the music is actually pretty great once you get used to how different it is for a doom game, and the sounds are all well put together imo
the visuals, while understandably amateurish and a lil hard to look at, are really unique and i genuinely enjoy the style that's been done here, it reminds me a whole lot of a weird mix of scorn, in the kingdom, and doom64, with the lovecraft inspiration coming out way more in the later levels
speaking of the levels, they look genuinely excellent, i can't say too much about the layouts as they seem a bit too open sometimes and enemies (especially on the harder difficulties) have a way too easy time killing you because of it, but the aesthetics of them are top notch; all the gothic architecture is really great to look at along with the rudimentary geometry and sky box looking PRETTY damn nice at times, the archives and the old kings' rest being of particularly high note for me

(Edit)
yeah, after extracting the music from the wad, i can easily say that this is one of the most interesting soundtracks i've heard from a doom wad, every song in here is very good, i really really really like it (it kinda reminds me a lot of the postal 1 ost)
there's nothing groundbreaking here, and the gameplay is really the same doom stuff we've all played, but i genuinely liked this mod a whole lot, and i'm excited to see what scumhead accomplishes next!

Played it for a few days and it already entered into one of my favorite arena shooters as of recently. The movement system is smooth, the gameplay is fast paced, the community is good, albeit small for now, and I've encountered virtually no bugs. And it runs very well on Linux, so that's always a plus.

Very nice! I love it.
