Claustrophobia: The Walls Close In

About This File

An addon for Doom2 ZDOOM with three new levels, new music/graphics, lots of ACS scripts, a dehacked patch and a storyline. These maps were made with the concept of claustrophobia in mind, hence the name. Don't expect to have plenty of space to dodge. On a side note, this is the first wad in which I experiment with STARTAN textures.

had the fights been better and the scripted cutscenes and boss fights not take too much playtime it would have been great. I get bored really quickly when the teleporting monsters keep coming and I get angered when I can't get through bigger ones.

The only reason I play this is because of the boss fights. They boast great challenge as well as look beautiful. These boss battles need to be in other WADs, and there will be at least one in B4NM. ~Nambona890

Feh. Shows a good technical grasp of Zdoom, and the levels get better after the first one. But it's marred by child-level dialogue (which reminds me more of Brak than the hardbitten action hero the author probably intended) and an irritating, claustrophobic design. I realise this is intentional; but that's no defence. The BTK killer's crimes were intentional and it doesn't make them any less reprehensible.

excellent mod, very imaginative and creative. The design is excellent (from tech to hell), the gameplay is rather OK but the bosses tend to get boring and ultra repetitive (minus one star) 4/5 - PerOxyd

Nice level design with serious difficulty spikes. Ruined by retarded so-not-Doom boss fights. The last one is virtually unplayable, my framerate is like 0.5 FPS due to millions of particles flying everywhere. I wasn't able to beat it even on God mode.

Legendary. I LOVE this wad, the Bosses and the scripting is fucking awesome!! And I loved that you included a plot, it contributed to the atmosphere a lot! I can only say one thing: Virgil, you're a new doom god!

great detail -- especially in the hell maps. and some really cool scripting at the end. but on the whole it fits its name too well, the level design is boring on the whole, and the gameplay is pretty lame at points (i honestly wasn't sure it would ever let me out of the start of map04 and was tempted to clip). but the detail and scripting were really good so it made up for it somewhat.

Good stuff although there are several flaws. Nothing that can't be fixed in the future. Flaw 1: The nature of the maps. No space 2 move :( Flaw 2: The story is weak. Flaw 3: The boss battles, though contain spectacular effects, are too repetative for their own good. Flaw 4: No new weapons.

This wad is definately a legand. Although it contained illegal MP3s and OGGs (and the fact that my computer slowed down at times), "Claustrophobia: The Walls Close In" is not just a wad which should only be played by true Doom Gods, but it makes Gradius 3 look like a cakewalk. Well done, Virgil. --Kirby X

I really don't like this one. Atmosphere and music are good, but gameplay just sucks. Beating an archvile in a tight hallway with no escape with a shotgun is more relied on luck than skill - if he goes to pain state or not. There are many battles I just don't like to undertake, that unenjoyable it is.

Oh my God. I worship the very ground you walk on Virgil. Legendary, no doubt at all. The fights, the atmosphere... you've created a masterpiece that should go down in Doom history. Please, don't stop here! --EarthQuake *****

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
