I played this without watching the video, and am glad I did. Really excellent mod, and the ways it fucks with you are quite ingenious!

OH MY. I watched the video after playing what I *thought* was the game, and I missed a LOT. I tried spoiling only tiny bits of it at a time and seeing how far I could get before I needed another spoiler, but it was too complicated to do it that way. Ended up just watching the rest of the video.

This is an astoundingly complex work of art. Huge credit to whoever the hell made it, and I hope more people (and not JUST people who've played Doom before) watch and/or try it, to appreciate just how amazing it is.

*promote this wonderful madness.

So, you didn't get the crazy ending.

What the fuck did I just watch!?!

A clever Doom mod creation.

I don’t think “clever” quite covers it.
This was game physics bending, mind melting genius.
I felt like it was the video gave version of “the mouth of madness”.

After seeing what that entails, I'm really glad I didn't put the time in to get to it. Watching it, and reading some of the forum thread where people worked it out, is more than enough!

Ditto. I was going to download it, but I would have to find my old DOOM files, install and setup the game and its mod, play, etc. I ain't got time and resources for that like I used like during my younger days.

That's exactly what I thought before watching the vid. Now I seriously regret it. I know I wouldn't have seen a fraction of what's there, but I do love things with a creepy meta (Newt mentioned Mouth of Madness, and I keep getting drawn back to Inscryption, for example).

The way I see it that mod looks like a better sink of time than >50% of what I play.

I don't regret it for the reasons I said earlier (e.g., passed out after 10:45 PM for over six hours) as an old fart.

It's really not all that involved - the hardest part is absolutely going to be finding Doom2.wad. If you (like me) have an old CD on hand you probably already have that, though I recognize there's a huge difference between "I have the cd" and "I can easily access the cd"...

After you have that though, it's just a matter of:
1 Downloading / unzipping GZDoom (free, easy to find)
2 Tossing Doom2.wad and the mod's .pk3 file into the unzipped GZDoom folder, and
3 Dragging the .pk3 onto gzdoom.exe.

Getting mods up and running in something like Skyrim or Fallout is substantially more fiddly.

Yeah, I don't know where my DOOM wad files from decades ago. Did I ever mention MY Doom 2 mods? http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/doom2/j2doom/j2doom.html
