Description             : Short map in a desert reminiscent to EPIC/Epic 2 wads thematically
                                  and difficulty wise. Based on a dream I had several months ago about
                                  being trapped in a brown bricked dungeon or something with imps
                                  and sergeants ahead in an awkward tight space, while outside the
                                  view of two twin forts and nothing but sand and stars around, oh and
                                  a big wall in the middle. The ending result is a lot more substantial but
                                  the dream parts were recreated almost to perfection, aside from
                                  detailing.

                                  The title of the map is ficticious, don't waste your time googling it.
                                  Basically a convoluted word by mixing "Zeliard" (an old
                                  RPG/platformer from my childhood) and "pyramid", an excuse to
                                  invent a name that starts by letter z, altogether forms the name of the
                                  desert you're in.

                                  --- Jumping and crouching aren't disabled, but are still unencouraged.
                                  Use them if you wish at your own risk of breaking stuff ---

                                  Monster placement remains the same on UV and HMP, while your
                                  first tool upgrade is either a berserk or an SSG respectively (the
                                  second is absent on skill 4). Health and ammo are also more
                                  prominent on lower skills. HNTR has slightly less enemies here and
                                  there, though keeping the teeth more or less. They all have been fully
                                  tested saveless with and without secrets.
