Description             :  Your team's helicopter was destroyed in mid-air by
                         an unidentified projectile from a non-human force.
                         You are the only survivor, and your only hope is to
                         contact the rescue services to come and get you out
                         of this immense desert.

Inspiration : I got inspired by several wads, video games and real-life locations and of course Romero's personal life. Let list them as much as possible !

I - Real-life location

1) First of all, the goal was to recreate a way more hostile version of the Sonoran Desert with nothing else than the stock resources. Why the Sonoran Desert? Because Romero lived in Tucson, a town located next to it. I searched images on google in order to catch the overall theme.
II - Other video games

a) Half-Life, and more specifically a specific part from "Surface Tension" chapter in which you reach a cliff from a pipe. This is one of the most oustanding passage from the game and I wanted to do a small homage for the 25th birthday too.
b) Tomb Raider III, it has a cool mesa-themed level inside.

III - Other Wads

a) Map 17 "Rocket Luncher" from Warrior.wad by Ilya N. Pashchenko, I took the wrecked helicopter from this map and reworked it in my way. Beside that, I love the classic adventurous feeling of this map and this wad.
b) Doomsday of UAC by Leon Martin Lim. It contains a destroyed car in it. I used it as inspiration for the truck in this map.
c) My own map from Tangerine Nightmare for the secret key

Known bugs : Some homs appear if you die in the pools with the deep water effect but you're unlikely to be killed in them. Some annoying slimetrails may appear too.
