You must think some people have all the time in the world... not to play a game, but to bash their head against a wall. Because that is what playing this level has been like. It took me ages to figure out how to complete the obstacle course where you compete against the voodoo doll of yourself (I ended up just noclipping and running in front of it in order to get to the switch in time).

WHAT I ACTUALLY NEED HELP ON:
But now I really have come to a part where there is no logical way for me to figure out how to proceed. I'm in the little room off to the side of the locked-up Heart of D'Sparil, where there are six switches that each move a blue bar each (but sometimes they will randomly move another as well). I see absolutely NO LOGIC to this puzzle - am I supposed to put them all up? All down? Some other pattern? I've tried many different variations, as well as tried to figure out what switch does what - but there is no observable pattern. What am I supposed to do here? Is this what unlocks the Heart? Because there is also the door that takes me back outside that is finally open (but I need the Heart when I am out there).

I also don't like how you have scripted the wad so that if I want to just noclip and take the Heart, I die. That's sucky gameplay, mate. If I get tired of trying to solve your obscure puzzle, let me just take the goddamn thing - rather than kill me because I dared to get bored of a game I've already played for over 2 and a half hours.

I also fail to see why this all had to be one level. Find a way to cut it in half somehow, make locked doors open that aren't over on the other side of the level so that anyone who plays has to run back to through a huge level that has mostly been cleared out now along the way). Also - am I to believe that the constantly grey flickering that coincides with the thunder sound IS INTENTIONAL? I don't mind the ambient sound, but the grey flickering adds nothing. It isn't atmospheric, it really isn't. It comes across as cheap and nasty and makes me think that there is something wrong with the file.

Also, I've been playing on the version that is current as of June 2023, and there is FAR TOO MUCH AMMO. I also have a full inventory of almost everything, including tomes. You could scale back almost everything (except for early on in the wad). Also, the game glitched when I first started and I didn't have any weapons at all in the first playable level, or the boat ride. I had to use the console command of "summon goldwand" simply to have the standard starting weapon.
