i'm not sure how this popped up on my radar late may 2025 but i'm glad it did! the vibes of the screenshot felt just right, and it translated perfectly into actual play. quite a lovely map, love the vanilla-esque feel to this. great architecture and encounters. only had trouble with the last secret, which wasn't helped by the fact i'm using 1/6 render scale in ironwail. good-job!

Extremely immersive map, felt like running through the tight spaces of a forgotten city. Five stars!
Great looking environments and overall map layout is excellent. I Don't know what black magic happened with all monster encounters that they just didn't work for me. Fiends jumping off ledges, getting stuck everywhere. I assume I was just extremely lucky with rng pathing that nothing worked right. Corner vores posing no threat and so on. Overall combat could've been spicier.

Great map! Superb architecture with vanilla id1 textures that constantly made me look up, well balanced combat and well hidden secrets. Thanks for the work!

A really nice, lovecraftian-medieval, small map (though still took me over 30mins to finish). Great for a quick Friday relaxation.

...The stars stands right in the night sky, and one of the Great Old Ones has awoken from his sleep deep under R'lyeh...

Very nice to have you back, Vondur! It has been a long wait.

The map is certainly worth waiting for: Classic Quake, and classic Vondur! Excellent craftmanship and a fertile imagination!

...I hope we won't need to wait nearly as long for the next one...

Thanks for Your work, thanks for sharing, and welcome back!
Nice colors and progression. 3/4 secrets but I'd like to get the spoiler about the last secret with the Knight in the octagon, since I can't find any legal way to get there :giggle:
