About This File

The phrase "exquisite corpse" originates from a surrealist game in which sentences were created by a group of people, each person not knowing what the previous words were.

In this WAD, each of the 12 authors was given a block of space 1024x1024 units big and asked to create a part of a larger level. However, all they were given to guide them were small slivers of the previously created pieces adjacent to theirs.

The Exquisite Corpse WAD was conceived by Linguica and created by members of the Doomworld forums in early September 2004.

an interesting concept and it made for a pretty cool map.

Connectivity is better than expected with this map, despite all the different sections combined in one. The visuals are great, minus a few dull sections (mostly 4 and 8), as well as unaligned textures in sections 10 & 11 (seriously, who blows texture alignment with such a small section assigned?). Game play is a good challenge. The switch hunting at the end is annoying when you have already explored the whole map.

@ ^: you're unfair, that cybie can be killed easily without using weaponry. Having said that: interesting concept of type 1 + 1 = 3. Despite the crampiness, most of the submaps work well, and the combination makes a nice adventure. Sadly it looks like some of the authors try to outperform the others in terms of monster placement (mostly barons & AVs), and of course there is the unevitable 2nd cybie. Sigh... Overall: obviously not legendary at all, but well done.

A fun concept. The resulting map is a bit of a mitchmatch of different styles, not surprisingly, but in this case it could be well considered a strenght as well. 4/5

I hope everyone likes it, I really liked how it turned out and I assume the other authors think the same way too :) - Scrum

you forgot to tag one of the doors and you can't grab the plasma rifle in most ports. either actually test maps with something other than zdoom or just say they're for zdoom and save people some time and effort. from what i saw it's pretty nice, though the extreme inconsistency hurts it somewhat. *** -sargebaldy

Sometimes you "feel" the passage from one part to another, but overall it's a surprisingly coherent map. The good amount of details and editing ideas is constant in all parts of the map. It's not one of the easiest maps, and you better choose the right way at the beginning, or else you'll end shred by some Hellknights. But in the end, the map is hard but very fair. 4/5 -Milian

Excellent map. Also likely a classic for being the "founder" of the 1024 concept, IMO one of the greatest types of Doom mapping concepts in existence (the bottom line: longer NOT= better)!

Nice, I give it 4 stars because of the extra novelty value. I'd like to see this concept revisited sometime for sure. //Erik Alm

      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.
