About This File

i like to keep my doom 2 installation floppies attached to my computer with magnets so i don't lose them

some can experience seizures when exposed to flashing lights or other visual stimuli. even if you've never been diagnosed, please be stop playing this wad if you encounter disorientation, lightheadedness, altered vision, involuntary twitching/jerking movements, or momentary loss of awareness/consciousness. i tried very hard to avoid anything that would cause physical discomfort but everyone is different

this wad does not work with qz/gz/zandronum as it relies on the old zdoom software renderer and other quirks specific to zdoom (or zdoomLE). you need 2.8.1 or newer

Too glitchy for me. Stop posting about how this pissed off Graf Zahl, it's old news. 

How did this get a cacoward?

genuinely a great piece of surrealist art of the digital age. the less you know about it, the better it is.

One of the coolest experiences I had with a Doom mod.

Impossible to look at, only reason it got a Cacoward is to piss Graf Zahl

An intresting concept, shows how not all wads have to tell a story, or be a complete festival of blood and carnage, but instead, an artistic work.

Lilith.pk3 is a mod that drastically changes the graphics and sounds to the point where source ports with high graphical capabilities can't run it.

It's great to have a original wad like this, but it changes everything so much to the point of being unplayable: Walls in the void, enemies that aren't really there and confusing textures.

Not only the main feature of the mod makes it unplayable, but the mapset that comes with it is weird, with questionable architecture, etc.

I recommend this mod only if you enjoy this type of stuff or if you are curious.

This is something I would imagine with Doom, if someone dumps my PC into a giant Caco-Cola tank, marinates it for a whole day, and seasons the PC with monosodium glutamate. This is a good stuff.

An interesting concept that works well if you read the readme file. Not naming any names *cough* @NuMetalManiak *cough*.

so I cheated with this one due to not figuring out exactly how to start it laziness by playing each wad individually with the resource pack...

 

this is definitely abstract art in a way that would seem as if Pablo Picasso was a Doom modder. distortion is key for what it offers, every single thing from the menu screen to the level design to the sprite replacements to the apparent game crashes on MAP03, everything is made in an elitist fashion, preventing the use of more common source ports and limiting it to a specific ZDoom software rendering port.

 

while the glitches are the main name of the game and the artistry is there, the gameplay is not, which prevents this from being a truly good Doom mod as a whole. sure, there's bound to be some good combat every now and then, but only in a few areas, MAP07 and MAP08 having the best gameplay overall. but the rest is kinda lame gameplay-wise. it has just enough levels to show the glitch gallery, but from a gameplay standpoint many often are over quick (at least in my gameplay style, I'll run through areas as fast as possible). the scripting only makes things weirder.

 

gameplay matters more than artistry in my opinion. great wads have both. this mostly has artistry and elitism.

One of the few truly bold and adventurous concepts for a levelset, breaks the rules and does it well.

Lilith as an idea is interesting and appealing as an outside viewer, it mirrors the glitched horror of a creepypasta game (more successfully than most) and is quite the spectacle, so eerie is it with the distorted world and the odd game behaviour, it's something worth watching a play through of at least.

 

However, actually playing it is different, playing Lilith is easily summed up in one word: insufferable. Lilith plays awful, it's an interesting piece but good lord is it deeply unenjoyable. You know when you see someone struggling to deal a glitchy mess just to show off how fucky it gets? You can live that life with Lilith, not that you'd want to (unless you are masochistic, or pretentious), not only that but it drags on for much much longer than it should.

 

Great art piece, bad mod.

Sorry lilith haters, the war over avant-garde art was fought several decades before you were born, and your side lost. Womp womp.

I like glitchy stuff. I used to mess with Game Genie codes on NES to achieve visual/gameplay distortion. It’s nice to have something like that for Doom.

 

In my opinion, something has to be a little ugly to be truly beautiful.

 

On top of everything else, it causes controversy despite having no inherently controversial substance to it. Seeing people have such visceral reactions - hate, love, and everything in between - that’s just awesome. I’d be stoked if something I made received such a wide array of reactions.

 

The content itself is enjoyable and the fervor surrounding it is interesting. 4 stars from me, a good score that is well earned.

 

EDIT: Stop spreading the lie that this won an award to piss off Graf. It won for its interesting and avant garde approach.. I guess people just go with whatever is the most sensationalist.

It's like the Doom equivelant of vaporwave, but instead of sounding somewhat pleasing it's just a fucking eyesore and I have to take xanax afterwards.

Even worse than monochrome wads (some design choices are wrong).

      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.
