Very weird. Genuinely interesting, despite feeling so arbitrary, but poor workmanship knocks off a point or two. I enjoyed the underwater finale, strange through it was. I do believe I will go on to play the other Anonca Base map.

The combat in this map wasn’t particularly challenging and the secrets, at least the 4/7 secrets that I found, weren’t very cleverly or interestingly designed most of the time.
The strong point of this map is exploration. As mentioned in the previous reviews, the architecture is interesting, and certain details, such as elevator designs were very cool and unique, with their fullbright colors shining bright in the surrounding darkness. So exploring the interesting environment alone made the map enjoyable enough of an experience and helped me keep a lookout for secrets while I was enjoying the scenery.

Liked the map. I always think that due to the water physics in quake, it should be more explored, even if it is weird and non beliveble.
I think the darkness in the map was intentional. The high quantity of secrets induces the player to explore, since the combat isn’t so challenging. Liked the symbol 9 appearing thoughout the map.
The swimming shamblers were a neat idea. And if you know the quake engine well, you can kill them with an axe no problem.

I love the map’s weird atmosphere. Different areas are done in different architectural styles, but the whole thing feels cohesive, probably because the map is almost all blue and dark.
freakin excellent map for 97, definitely one for the old school map collection. the gameplay is on point, the ammo is decently tight, all weapons are present and the puzzle is challenging. very satisfied with this map and really good brushwork, especially for 97, and especially for mixing in base enemies which is a pet peeve of mine.
the only cons would be some vore fights were too easy, and you’re rewarded with green armor right away but don’t have to do much of anything to earn it. otherwise excellent map.
