About This File

This is a heavily retooled version of the map I submitted to NOVA II all those months ago. It's far more detailed, more streamlined, has more involved combat, new music, and an entirely new section based off of that one scene from House where the dude goes into the mirror and explores the dark spooky void.

The map itself is a rather melancholy trek through a dark, mountainous environment and the many nearby caverns, moving towards a humble water treatment plant. What dark secrets does it all hold oohsuspensesuspense. I also did a weird trick where I placed lamps and torches behind wall lights so it would look like they're glowing in advanced sourceports.

The reason this version wasn't added to NOVA II is because Gobu says he prefers the original. Personally I like this version, so I'm more than happy to keep my preffered rendition all to myself :p

I liked it. The music really helped out with setting the atmosphere of the map. The action was good, hard enough to keep you on your toes. My only complaint was the the exit was a little hard to navigate due to some of the switches being in dark corners. 4/5

A sort of creepy-level with pure Doom action. Good difficulty balance, good flow. Architecture is adequate in its looks and interesting in its design. I loved it. ~Zalewa

Much better than the NOVA 2 submitted version I played a while ago.

It has very detail map structures. But I don't like gloomy bgm.

A rare level with plenty of enemies and many tight spaces that never feels aggravating to play - there is always some form of escape. Do watch out for bizarre progression - the two blue doors lead to two different areas that are not connected, both of which are needed to complete the level, while one of the red doors is completely optional. The exit switches were also confusing.

      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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.
