Torment & Torture : Classic Lost Episode mod for Doom II

Torment & Torture : Classic Lost Episode
by Daniel "Tormentor667" Gimmer

Once again, this creation is characterized by a brown, Quake-like, and dark theme. If you didn't enjoy TNT1-3, it's likely that this one won't appeal to you either, as you may find it similarly displeasing. A unique aspect of this work is my attempt to blend the style of TNT3 with that of TNT1. Let's find out if I've managed to successfully achieve this fusion.

* Original Description *

This episode of TNT has three distinct objectives. Firstly, it serves as a creative diversion while I work on XMASDM2 and Netherworld. Secondly, its purpose is to reacquaint me with my unique, dark TNT-style
editing. Lastly, and most importantly, it offers an additional episode of TNT to entertain you during the development period of TNT4.

* Original Story *

In this gripping narrative, set in a parallel timeline to the renowned marine's battle through the "Fortress of Damnation" in TNT3, the story unfolds with earth-shattering stakes.

The Earth's provisional government has uncovered a new portal to hell deep within the planet's asthenosphere. As you absorb this information, a sinking realization dawns on you: this mission may very well be a one-way journey, severing the ties with your friends, your family, and your beloved wife forever. But lingering farewells would only amplify the agony, an agony that's already unbearable. With resolve steeling your heart, you step into your living room, shouldering two bags. You pick up two cigars – a small solace for the moments between your impending triumph... or death. Leaving your house, you board the government's black hovercraft, embarking on a journey of no return.

Five days later, you find yourself on an isolated island, surrounded by an endless sea of lava. Your specialized marine suit shields you from the extreme pressure and scorching temperatures of this hellish landscape. The vehicle that transported you to the heart of the Earth has departed, leaving you alone in this inferno. Now, the fate of our planet rests in your hands. You are Earth's last line of defense against the hellspawn, fighting not just for humanity, but for your family and friends, who will remain oblivious to the sacrifices you're about to make.

In this harrowing tale of valor and sacrifice, you embody the essence of a true hero, one whose deeds remain unsung and unknown, yet whose courage shapes the destiny of the world.
