Description             : A set of 3 rather difficult maps designed to be
                         played from pistol start, each one approaching
                         said difficulty differently. What these maps have
                         in common is Quake-influenced visual appearance,
                         though once again, the actual themes vary from map
                         to map.

                         01 is an aggravating gimmick map where I was
                         experimenting with annoying things, so I don't
                         expect for many to like it (thankfully, it's fairly
                         short). Moreover, it's very different from the
                         other two, and is also a rather misleading opener,
                         yet for my own obscure reasons I have to insist on
                         leaving the map order as is.

                         02 is notably easier than the previous one, and
                         it's also as close as this mapset gets to "normal"
                         contemporary maps, relatively fast pace and some
                         upbeat moments throughout but overall this map's
                         rather lenient and generous with all kinds of
                         supplies.

                         03 is essentially 02 on steroids, more open-ended
                         and free-form, yet it's also notably harsher, with
                         several moments of slaughter-grade goodness, even
                         though the majority of the map is still dominated
                         by low-key "incidental" encounters. The secrets
                         also contain optional battles and powerful goodies.

                         PROTIP: I quite like using candles and various
                         "showy" decorations (demon faces, altars etc.)
                         purely for the sake of atmosphere and environmental
                         detailing, so if you're hunting for secrets - these
                         aren't really going to lead you anywhere, you
                         should look for other clues. Apologies for the
                         confusion.

                         The music tracks (.OGG) are by Marc A. Pullen (goes
                         by Fanatic on Doomworld), it's definitely worth
                         noting that they played a major role during this
                         mapset's development and made a huge impact on its
                         final shape. In fact, I can't thank Fanatic enough
                         for what he's been doing on musical front all these
                         years, so making some maps largely inspired by his
                         tracks is the least I can do to express my
                         gratitude and utmost respect.
