Combining the aura of Stonekeep with the critical thinking of Zork and the magic of Strife, Dark Realms is sure to please any die hard Hexen fans with a sweet spot for puzzles and quests in a role playing environment. Set in a post-apocalyptic world of devastation and scorched earth, you are, to your knowledge, the last human alive on this planet. Your mission, at first, is simple: avenge your species and obliterate the evil dudes! But, as you quickly learn, the MOD becomes far more involved and complex as you journey deeper into the heart of Dark Realms. This is no dungeon hack - it's a flat out revolution in the long obsolete Doom engine! Curently, DR has 16 levels, divided into 3 hubs. It also has 3 different endings, depending on how you choose to play. Gameplay in this mod is open-ended and non-linear. The end product will have 4 hubs. If possible, the 3 classes will be merged into one, who will bear all their weapons and then some (ideally as many as 40!). As the game...

Ah, the sweet smell of glory. The Third Hub is finally done, and I am very pleased to share it with you all. As promised, you will find all of the "teasers" I talked about last March, in the news post just below. There are no doubt many bugs in this release, so please report ANY mysterious

Now that the preliminary release is public, work will shift to updating the walkthrough, which I hope to finish some time next week. I will also be sending out the soundtrack in time for anybody who doesn't really care that much about Hexen, but still enjoys good music!

As far as future goals for Dark Realms go, I have even more ambitious news: there is still one last hub, a fourth one, to be made! This will be the final hub, after that, you will have successfully completed DR. And since the third hub has 3 different endings, the fourth one will of course have 3 different beginnings AND endings! Work on the fourth hub will begin once the walkthrough and soundtrack are done, plus, if necessary, a v3.1, to correct any found bugs.

As for The Elven Gathering, that project hasn't been touched in ages, but it still was supposed to have 2 more levels, so you never know.
