This map is one of my favorites in terms of visuals. It’s detailing, while arguably being too dense in parts, is phenomenal. I love the variety of visual elements as well, it’s exciting going into a new room because you don’t know what you’ll find. The computer room with the first fiend is a personal favorite.
I feel like this map is the antithesis of czg’s ‘Ceremonial Circles’ in that rather than focusing almost exclusively on gameplay it puts a massive focus on visuals. That’s not to say the gameplay isn’t without it’s merits but rather that the carrot on the end of stick is getting to see a new beautifully designed room rather than blowing apart masses of monsters. This map would still be well worth playing with all monsters removed.
The texturing is a highlight. I’m not familiar with the speedbase texture set but I loved the use of vanilla textures in creating brand new ones. It reminds me a lot of Doom’s patch and texture system.
This is a wonderful map and I recommend it to everyone.

One of the best base maps ever.
Good looking base map. Gameplay is questionable though: there’s too much shotgunning at the start; despite having a nailgun I still find shotgun to be more suitable for most of fights. It’s also very cramped, and most fights in cramped spaces are not that fun. But it gets better eventually.
Playthrough:
Very good map! Straight forward, perfect for the moments when you just want to run and gun! The architecture is very nice. Got caught at the end, but finished off with 1 point on the health and still some monsters to kill DOH! but I made it! This achitectural theme would be nice in a series or a longer map. Thanks R.P.G.!
3/5 Not much to say here. It's well made but fairly standard base map.
