About This File

mid-sized WAD with emphasis on large,

fast-paced fights. No tedious puzzles or

absurd deathtraps, but there are a couple of

surprises to keep you on your toes.

STORY: The UAC has developed experimental

time-travel technology and has determined

that in the future, the hellspawn are

destined to take over Earth. You are

assigned to travel forward 600 years, to a

world ruled by the demons, and stop them

before they wipe out the few remaining

pockets of humanity. You time-travel

successfully, to a futuristic metropolis

where you are surprised to see your own face

on "Wanted" posters everywhere. Before you

have a chance to slip into hiding, a

"concerned citizen" reports you to the

zombie police, and after a short fight you

are taken into custody. It seems that

before you travelled in time, you forgot to

return a library book... a library book

which is now 600 years overdue.

Your demonic captors cackle heartily at your

lack of an alibi. You are told that you are

being taken to see the feared

Librarian-Inquisitor. Hours later, as you

wait in a holding cell of the library

complex, you remember you've still got your

trusty pistol and 50 rounds of ammo; what a

stroke of luck! Time to go have some words

with the Librarian-Inquisitor and get out of

this place.

Very plain even by 1998 standards, but not vomit. The thing about the 600 year overdue library book - That's funny as hell. Thanks for the laugh, Steve.

Get rid of the unescapable lava pit man. Its what made me stop playing your map. For the record, Eternal Doom already has a storyline concerning time travel, and the fact that you're wanted because of a library book is really a very stupid story. A good try, for a first map.

      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
