Nice visual touches here, presenting the surreal disassembly of the abbey. I especially liked the hallway with the popout wall blocks; that was surprising and disconcerting in a good spooky hostile-environment sort of way.
Technical nits: construction is a little blocky, sometimes getting in the way of smooth movement. A few see-through brush faces too, e.g. next to some of the stained glass windows. And I think the setup for the final door is mildly confusing: first there's no message when you try to open the door; then you have to touch both gold key locations to open the door, but because of vanilla-quake restrictions you can only pick up one gold key and the other is left behind. Maybe there was a different way to design that (or if you were set on doing multiple-key-pickup, the Copper mod could be the way to go.)
Bottom line though, fun to play.
Routing the player back and forth a bit, some cool secrets, a bit of swimming, some zombies before the GL pickup that you can come back and pop, etc. just miscellaneous good things. Although I did miss getting a nailgun, perhaps that was in a secret I didn't find? If so then IMO at least the initial NG (not the SNG) should be a standard pickup and not a secret.
Quite a solid little map for being done in 6 weeks as (I assume) the author's first Quake map release.
