| Description: |
Two Doom II maps inspired by Hexen's lead - simple architecture, solid behind-the-scene mechanics, hand-to-hand combat and, most importantly of all, switch hunting! |

one of the MIDIs is polyphonically overstuffed; neither will really work in OPL2 mode |

| The first map has interesting ideas; the implementation is quite unintuitive, so frustration is guaranteed. This is a case when a map is too clever for its own good. You can skip most of the puzzles and speed through to the exit in under a minute, though. MAP02 is more playable but not by much. There's also an unlisted bonus map; it's more of run-and-gun style, closer to slaughter than puzzle. Overall the design is that of an average WAD from mid-90s, with clever puzzles but uninspired looks and gameplay. | x | |

| ^1 Seriously, 5*? LOL. Poor map layout, mostly unattractive and even poor texture use, chaotic architecture, very poor ambiance, weaponry does not match monster count. Gameplay completely misses a decent leitmotiv - I don't have trouble with switch hunting, but this is imho far from good. Overall, as gameplay couldn't get me even on one single toe: 1* for the effort. BTW with ZDoom map01:sector 46 cannot be reached without jumping. | x | |
Boon
| Somewhat confusing, but decent. Only major flaw was the floor raising on MAP02. | x | |
