The level has probably the least appealing title of all time, and the level itself doesn't disappoint; it starts off with a big circle, and then there's a maze of twisty little stone passages, all alike. The entrance to the maze is quite nice, but do you want to spent fifteen minutes wandering around a maze? In Doom? In 2006?

This is my second wad.  As such, it ain't bad.  I wasted hours mucking
around clearing up HOMs in the big labyrinth room, and the sheer size of
it was causing the game to crash.  Originally it was all wide open, blue
skies and mountains around the edges, no roof on the lower labyrinth, and
no walls around the upper labyrinth.  But it works OK like it is now, with
two seperate interlocked mazes.  I think it's kinda cool, but then I
built it...
There are three secrets to be found - a lift, a room and a teleport.  Only
the latter should prove at all difficult to find.
Playing this level on a low difficulty level shouldn't be much of a
challenge, but on a higher level it should be pretty heavy going.  There are
A LOT more monsters on the hardest difficulty settings than on any of the
others, so watch your corners, and keep a check on your ammo supply.  There
are a few extra bonuses lying around to compensate, but not many!
