What are wads that have continueation and connectivity at end and beginning of level?

[Grungo]

Know any wads that have immersive level continuation, similar to Doom 2: Reloaded? Grungo love that stuff in wads and reminds grungo of build engine

First one that comes to mind is Eviternity. You enter the next level staring at the button you just pressed to end the last one, and there's a new path forward from the last maps final room. Always an awesome touch.

Hellbound

Fragport

Solar Struggle

Sepia is another example. Not only you can often see start of the next map / beginning of the previous one, but there are also multiple neat additional details like

Spoiler

A torn painting after you exit a secret level that you entered via that painting, or the next map being an upside down version of a previous map, so you actually see the playable space of the map while you are still on the previous one. Not to mention episode 4 has very creative integrations of geometry of the maps from previous episodes.

Hadephobia fits the description pretty well.

 

There's also Armadosia, a full megawad with big exploration oriented maps. The wad lacks a custom soundtrack though, so I strongly recommend playing it with the PSX Doom soundtrack for an unique experience.

 

Doom 404 also uses the gimmick of continuation between levels, but it's rather a collection of small maps.

Speed of Doom not worthy of a mention?!

All the Elementalism maps in an episode do this too. You can often see the whole next map from certain vantage points too.

Cleimos and Cleimos 2, the ur-examples.

Also, the subsequent maps start where the previous ended.

Reverie does this - as inspired from Cleimos 2.

Doesn’t Alien Vendetta do this to some extent, I think?
