Great first map. There are some small aesthetic issues like scaling down some 128x128 textures to 32x32. Relatively short map with tight ammo balance. Appreciate the effort making gameplay fit the cool environmental detail.

Short but sweet, richly detailed, very enjoyable. Gives you health and ammo which I appreciate.

One doorway I think is intentionally difficult to get through but felt poopy, and a couple places enemies jammed up on each other.

Good show!

I really like it perhaps a little bit to tiny in term of space to move but I think it's something you want to avoid with a first release is creating something huge were you lose yourself having idea and idea and never finished things :)
attention to detail, text generation, gameplay everything was really fun, thanks a lot for creating this :)

I agree with previous reviewers. For the very first map this is totally 5 stars map. Layout is great. Maybe a little bit cramped in places, but personally I do not really mind. Encounters are fun and not so amateurish - sometimes they're but nothing critical. Really cool map and highly recommended. I am going to follow this mapper from now on!

Thank you very much for your positive review.
I usually tend to rate 'first' maps a bit high, but in this case the five stars would have been earned even by a very experienced mapper!

This is absolutely magnificent. Excellent brushwork, fabulous mood-setting, filled with crooks and nannies.... er, nooks and crannies...
Good lighting, good monster placement (perhaps with the shambler and vore right after the gold key as an exception).

If i should compare this to anything, i guess ad_sepulcher would come closest.

I certainly hope this mapper will continue to produce new maps; but be warned! My expectations for You will be very high!

Thanks for Your excellent work, and thanks for sharing!

Very nice Level Design, including all the bloody decals and cobwebs. Gameplay was fair and anything worked out well. I just couldn't finde the second secret o.O

great first map! lots of great details and little touches like paintings on the walls. think some of the gameplay spaces were a bit tight and it was easy to get caught on details while dodging, and the gold key door being a wall felt odd, but overall i enjoyed playing it

Dude, this is just a great map, especially if it's the first one! I'll immediately give you 5 points for making my dream come true! You're the first one to add cobwebs, vegetation and a sense of desolation to a vanilla game! This was usually done in the AD, Dwell and Copper mods. The only thing missing is the grass on the floor! The compactness and geometry are also well executed. My applause! (y)

Congratulations on your first release. I had a lot of fun playing it.

The brushwork was phenomenal and very dense. The images and lots of details added to the atmosphere. I am not so sure about the mix of base and castle monsters.

The map kept me on my toes the whole time. I think the difficulty was a bit high in the beginning. I ran out of amunition several times which I solved by fighting some monsters. The secrets were fair and exiting. Found both in my first playthrough.

Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to your next map.
