Really enjoyed this. It must have been quite novel when it was released, and even though it looks dated now, it retains a Lovecraftian atmosphere and sense of place.

What a waste of time! Dark rooms, greenish scrags, blueish shamblers. Why is it that lots of mappers think that they should modify monsters?
I’d rate this 2 out of 5. Boring gameplay. Dark locations, awkwardly looking monsters.
You have to take into consideration that these older maps were made using editors that did not have any 3D/openGL acceleration. The authors had to create all this 3D geometry in 2D map editors. It is extremely difficult, and that is why any map from the 90s era that meets the ID standard is an excellent map.
This map tells a great story, and has a unique ending with the player discovering a sunken pyramid. It truly captures the Lovecraftian feel of Quake. There are some rough edges indeed, some traps are unfair, and the lighting is too dark in areas. However, this is a truly great 90s era map. I recommend to all Quake enthusiasts.

I really enjoyed this map as well and it is a vastly improved map compared to “village of dread” . I liked the journey that the mapper provides the player throughout the map leading to final of discovering the sunken pyramid that lead to another lovecraftian world where the final of the map takes place. I enjoyed the new reskinned quake monsters as it made the quake experience feel fresh and new. However i would agree with one of the above posters that the map is excessively dark which can make it a little bit difficult progressing through the map. Overall I would give this map a four out of five rating and say that is map is a must play if you enjoy classic maps and mods from the 1990’s.
