About This File

The story of this wad is pretty unusual. It all started with a very ambitious project "Fear The Shrill" (some screenshots were shown to public on "The Doomer's Reccess" (home13.inet.tele.dk/CNH) The main goal of the project was to create an 11 level wad with levels styled with good Mapper's styles, like maps that would look they were made by Kaiser, or Karthik (rather inspiration, not stealing someone's style). The thing was to learn map editing and accomplishing ambitious projects. Later Fear The Shrill evolved into an episode 1 replacement, but with a new style, new maps, new story and new graphics.. exactly, graphics. By that time I simply couldn't find any good sprites or textures for my project so I realized that I should start making my own. So I began searching for some good art programs. PSP and 3ds Max were my choices (tough I don't own 3ds as of yet, but it's only a matter of time). It took a lot of time to study them, but I think I've advance to a rather good level in artmaking (comparing my current skills to those from the past- I did improve), and my natural talents helped me too :-) (hypocryte). However, later I found a rather good way for motivation when working on projects-teams. On WIP I've teamed up with the Doom Refresh Daemon Team (check out this awesome project at --doomos.webpark.pl--). The team's leader, Ellmo found me useful and I joined the group. My position was mostly a beta tester but I could also add some minor graphics to the project, such as a new gun O_o. Needless to say after some time me and Ellmo began work on an outstanding new project which You can check at www.republika.pl/newproject - The mighty RONE. Stay tuned. Currently I decided to release this map just for people to play it and see what Fear The Shrill alpha was going to be. Because I'm working on RONE, FTS is hold for an unknown yet period of time. Will it ever be finished? No one knows..

pretty harsh map. I enjoyed it though.

I quit after 10 minutes, couldn't stand all the shotgun vs tough monsters action. At least there was an obvious secret berserk I was able to have some fun with but I couldn't use it against spiders and cacos for example... Not good.

Pro: A lot of good looking areas, extensive battles. Con: Like others already said, too repetitive. I'd say this wad is a 3.5 stars, so... -- 4/5

Nice detailed map, the gameplay may have been somewhat repetive after a while, but still worth at least 4 stars -Vader

Boring and completely linear. Gets very repetitive with the same sorts of battles and architecture appearing again and again. 2/5

I agree with the second reviewer. The level starts out looking like a winner, but it quickly starts to repeat itself. The author says that he emphasized on gameplay in this level, but I think it's the weakest link here. It is however a great-looking level, so the author definitely has promise.

Starts full of promise but got way too repetitive for my liking. A few mapping errors too, although the potential is certainly all there.

Nothing really wrong with this map. I thought the ammo was enough although I did do some punching but I finished with over 60 shells. I can see how missing the secret in the beginning could screw stuff up but it's so easy to spot. 10/10/07

The readme is amusing, and the author will regret it when he is thirty years old ("my position was mostly a beta tester" is a classic). Nonetheless this is a good-looking level, with tasteful design in the modern style. It's not much fun to play because there's very little ammo. You absolutely have to find an blatant secret early in the level, and even then there's a lot of berzerk punching in cramped corridors. Greatly overuses hell knights, and gets less interesting as it goes on.

      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.
