Penelope

Penelope.wad is a sort of bookend to my first year of mapping, and a distilled extract of everything I like in my mapping soup: complex architecture, out-there texturing, strange progression and a whole lot of atmosphere. There are also a few demons to kill, but nothing worrisome - little more than a nuisance. Only a few are archviles, and even fewer are cyberdemons and spider masterminds. Most combat is optional, and the exit can be reached in only a few minutes, though I'd invite you to stay for the whole experience if you will...

"Dawn rises on a strange landscape, and the threads of reality itself are undone. You close your eyes and breath in the cool, saline sea breeze. You steel for action against the relentless invading forces of Hell, yet your thoughts run elsewhere. The shimmer of concrete and metal in the early morning's sun. The rough embrace of brutalist towers against a landscape of stillness. The dank, cold nook and crannies of a facility where you feel like you might have spent the whole of your existence. Penelope loves you."
