Story                   : You are a space marine, recently discharged from
                         service shortly before (another) demonic invasion
                         engulfs the planet. Wacky hijinks ensue.

==========================================================================

Description             : 32 level Boom compatible map set made during October for
                         NaNoWadMo 2022. A total of 25 maps were constructed
                         during the event, with the last 7 maps being finished the
                         following month.

                         The idea behind the project was to imitate level concepts
                         from the Scythe series, as well as the original Doom 2.

==========================================================================

Information             : All levels were designed for pistol starts. Difficulties
                         have been implemented. Complevel - 9.

                         Coop play is optional. I have tested precisely zero of these
                         maps for coop play, but I tried to at least ensure players
                         can't get soft-locked out of finishing any given map.

                         Tested mainly in Nugget Doom and DSDA Doom. I'm assuming any
                         Boom compatible source port will get the job done.

                         Utilizes a dehacked patch for custom enemies and other misc behaviors. Use mods at your own risk.

                         Widescreen status bar provided seperately since it breaks in certain source ports.
