Description : I know there's no need for lore in Doom, but, just
to give you something for contest purposes:
"You got yourself captured by the demons legion
(while you were asleep, drunk or taking a c**p,
whatever), so, with the hell's greatest menace
caged, the demons are trying to rise again, lead by
the 4 horsemen of apocalypse and the Beast.
It is your duty to escape that dirty jail and stop
their advance, destroying their leaders."

• The wad presents 14 levels (12 + 2 secrets), a Hub
  (reachable by beating the final level or just by
  entering the 3rd episode), from where you can play
  all of the levels pistol starting (actually "fist
  starting") and go to a "testing area", plus a secret
  wave based arena.
• There's a little "relic hunt" system (get all of
  them to get to the secret arena, where you can find
  the very last one, which will unlock a secret permanent
  powerup).
• Most vanilla weapons have been modified to better
  suit what I had in mind.
• There are a couple of new progression and secrets
  mechanic (not too fancy stuff).
• I added 2 new hard skill levels, for adrenaline
  enjoyers.
• Etc. (read the "infos.txt" files for more).

This is my first ever pwad, but despite that, I'm
really proud of it, cause I ended up making exactly
what I had in mind when I started this project.

I basically used all of the trickery of UDMF format
and ZDoom features, so I'm quite sad to say that
this thing is (quite surely) only compatible with
GZDoom (4.8.x), but you won't regret it, trust me!
Another quite sad note, is that this monstrosity
won't be compatible with any mod that changes
vanilla monsters and weapons (It can run, sure, but
some script will definitely break).

That said, sit down, take a deep breath and enjoy
this heavy paced, hard hitter, atmospheric wad!

Additional Credits to : Apocalypse (psx game) and Doom 3, from which I got
some inspirations for themes, bosses and some
levels, Project Brutality and PsxDoomTC

DavidxNewton, that inspired me to start mappping
and all the play-testers on Doomworld
