Doxylamine Moon: Overdose

   (37 reviews)

About This File

TURN OFF "try to evulate IT"! The map is in fact a reinterpretation and continuation of my map from Sacrament wad.

Major differences: - The map became "playable", e.g. there are many monsters in it (this was the main goal of remaking the original). - New locations added. Hope they are as successful as those in "Doxylamine Moon" in Sacrament. - Automap added and handled properly. - Also, old locations have been slightly modified.

Now, a few words about the plot. Generally it's based on the Sacrament wad story: It's the End of the World. All unworthy people see each other as monsters, including the protagonist. The action is taking place later than the Sacrament.wad's plot. The protagonist wakes up in a museum, where he passed out for a while - due to an overdose. By this time the End of the World has entered the final phase long ago (it began in the end of Sacrament.wad), and among other things, the wet areas became freezing (slightly). The main character, of course, is not aware of what's going on, so he must think what to do in this situation.

Not as good as the original which was more atmospheric and exploration based. This has more enemies yet is confusing because the blue key area is there, yet no blue key. No need to remake an already good level.

I don't think that the alternate exit is reachable on this version, the one that's on Sacrament is reachable though it's puzzling as hell. this version is basically a more combat-oriented version of the original, and it's very nice.

Underrated. Not a perfect one but I couldn't hate any parts of it. 5/5 - Katamori

It still a nice map, but must have a powerful computer for it...the new weapons sprites seems not fit at all... also, I didn't found the blue key, so the other exit(?) is unreachable, even I use noclip cheat to get it, the teleport into the inner room still killed my DooMguy instantly, I have no idea why still put that exit on the level since this release's Map02 is useless... 3.5/5

Efford: 4/5. Nice scenery, but way too many visible items causes it to slow down to unplayable, even on i7-2600K & HD-6950: 3.5/5. Gameplay: almost not there. No challenge, and 90% of doors are no-ops which leads to endless searching: 1/5. So overall: a disappointing 3/5

looks good but that's about it, you need luck to find ammo, endless searching and so on... - no flow 3/5

A nice city map. It's a real city, not 'tetris'. I want more! 5/5.

Great design, but sometimes this map may run very slow even with prboom's software renderer.

"the map became playable" you say... indeed, some action has been added to the table, but the map not became more entertaining because of that. atmosphere is a bit ruined now and brand new action isn't anything great. in trying to achieve both points you just lose it all IMO.

I've played that work. Also played some other works of the same author. What I can say? It is boring. The author obviously tried to create something that can raise him in his own eyes, meybe in eyes of the same-kind geeks (subscribed in the credits section, to the matte, their works are not much worse from his). But author have only achieved another witness of his shit-feeding. 1 star - because of my good mood.

      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.
