I like the song in the trailer too.

LAShTAL – Thoum Aesh Neith

Thanks!

The song is from an old Ritual Ambient album: https://www.discogs.com/es/release/244626-LAShTAL-Thoum-Aesh-Neith

Only in the trailer, the map just features the original NIN music.

Congratulations On The Release

Excellent batting average in your releases so far. :-) This one is a top-notch adventure in the "gradually unlock this giant space" genre. Lots of good stuff going on here, but I'll mention just a couple of things for now:

- Good job making a fun fight that employs the annoying fire-magic thingy ("wraith" I guess?). Having the pools there to duck into is great, of course along with a selection of ground-bound monsters to pressure you. And the crusher trap is fun to use on the big knights.

- The end battle is pretty good! Always hard to stick the landing with a Quake boss battle, but no real complaints about this one.

A super-polished release that any fan of big spooky runic maps should play.

Wonderful, excellent map. One of the few maps I wish it was LONGER not shorter. I'm a fan of huge atmospheric and industrial maps and this one hits a soft spot for me. Gameplay and pacing is perfect also. Congrats!

Thanks Pals

Awesome feedback, I'm really happy you liked it!

Joel: there are no bad monsters, they are just poor misunderstood creatures, you just have to know how to deal with them.

Gnemeth: I also loved Celestine Cistern!

Agree with the previous praise, the level design and gameplay ares top-notch, with always the right amount of pressure and an organic placement of improvised cover that always perfectly matches the encounter. I just can't get enough of that kind of stuff.

Thank you Zothique for the amazing map!

Wow

this was a huge step up from previous map which was already quite nice.
I tend to enjoy less brutal maps than this now that I am an old old man, but this was really well done!
Played on hard, took me 1.5 hours and probably 30 reloads, found 13/16 secrets, though one was noclipping about after.
An interesting mix of influences, all worn on the sleeve but yeah, overall this was great!
Please keep it up!

Apologizes

Thanks a lot!

Also... if it is brutal it was not my intention...

Sorry for all brutalized rangers now hung on metal towers, drowned in pools of slime or sodomized by ogres in dark corridors!

Well Done Brutal

And also, I’m pretty rusty on the AD front
