Derceto

About This File

You have been hired by Emily Hartwood, heiress to the cursed Derceto mansion, to search the grounds for the cause of the late Jeremy Hartwood's mysterious suicide. Ms. Hartwood believes the ancient house hides a terrible secret that drove her father mad. You decide to begin your search in the dusty old attic and work your way down from there, but as you climb the attic stairs a cold sense of dread washes over you -- several floors below you hear the slam of the front doors as they trap you inside. Something knows you're here. An unnatural storm brews outside as you clutch the grip of your pistol with a sweaty hand. Solving the Hartwood mystery may mean more than a mere paycheck now: it means the difference between life...and whatever ghastly fate Jeremy killed himself to avoid.

This is a reproduction of the mansion from the original Alone in the Dark, courtesy of Doom Builder 2.

Nope, the closest I got is the IOS teeth area. No exit? ~1/5 for some good made areas with detail. Maybe detailed caverns with random slopes on ceilingss and floors?

I felt tormented by this.

Map layout is quite rectangular and a bit cramped, but further not bad. Texture use is a bit spare but consistent, decoration is quite good. Gameplay is not good: the monster popups / teleports soon gets boring, monsters in the 'terraces' can shoot but the areas cannot be visited - which feels unnatural. After grabbing the yellow key I took the nearest not yet opened door - and got killed instantly. This is a no-go nowadays. 2/5 because of the gameplay.

This is very buggy and unfinished but at least it's fun and looks great at times.

Doesn't resemble the original Derceto. Try harder.

      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.
