Prepare to descend into the abyss of "The City of The Damned 2," a haunting sequel to the unholy terror that was its predecessor. This nightmarish ZDoom map, infused with the sinister essence of Monolith's "Blood," now emerges from the depths, cloaked in the eerie glow of dynamic lights and adorned with nightmarish enhancements, all in the haunting embrace of GZDoom.
As you step into this accursed realm, brace yourself for a descent into madness. The very air is thick with dread, the city streets shrouded in perpetual darkness. Unholy forces conspire in the shadows, as malevolent zombies, deranged cultists, and diabolical demons lurk around every corner, their malevolence palpable.
With trembling hands and pounding heart, you shall embark on a nightmarish odyssey where the line between the living

The first release of The City of the Damned: Apocalpyse has hit the crowd on the 1st of November 2007. That's quite a long time to be honest. It was well received and still is one of the must-play-classics but it didn't age too well. In the past thre years, a few talented friends and I took the time and effort to prepare something for this year's Halloween: A remastered version of The City of the Damned: Apocalpyse. Get ready for a new horror-experience! Release on 31st, 20:00 MET!
