About This File

A small map created using only textures from Noir texture pack. It's quite dark, scary and pretty difficult. It was sort of inspired by Lab X-18 from Stalker and has quite a few design aspects borrowed from it.

Don't forget, you need Noir pack to play it. You can download it from R667: http://realm667.com/index.php/en/component/docman/?task=doc_download&gid=951&Itemid=

The only map I've ever released on idgames myself (back when I was "ChekaAgent"), out of 6 I ever finished, and unfortunately, probably the weakest one.

It's garbage. Not 1994 tier, but not much better. The idea was good on paper... well, not maybe good, but sorta cool: remake Lab X-18 level from STALKER, BUT using only textures from NOIRPACK. Well, the idea... didn't work out well. It could've been done well by someone who has Torm-level detailing skills, but not by me. The map ended up being a set of bland featureless literally all-grey corridors.

If you want to see a poor attempt at remaking a level from a modern in game in Doom, or a level made in entirely out of Noirpack textures, this is it.

The music is bad as well. I mean, it fits, and is meant to be creepy, but it's also bad, repetitive and boring.

I'm writing this review just because I want to shit on something, and the best place to start is your own work! Still, I'm giving this map 2 stars instead of 1 because I put some effort into it and back then I actually finished and released maps, unlike NOW. -_-

PS: I made a stupid typo in the text file when I submitted this wad, "sacry" instead of "scary". I still remember it after almost 5 years...

A weak map - flat surfaces coupled with strangely steep staircases. Rectangular room design with paper-thin walls. Shooting is mostly straight-forward and difficulty is low. Monochrome colors and really shitty music choice. At least the layout is more or less non-confusing.

Maybe it would have been better as a shorter map, because the dark gray textures and monotonous music/noises turn dull after a while. But it's a good map, I liked it. Why the HOM at the end?

      Unloved

      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.
