Comments: After having slain so many demons all this time, Doomguy somehow feels drowsy and decides to take a nap. Without him noticing, it turns out the demons have brought him somewhere deep in Hell. Looks like they planned to take him to their own circus show, where he has to survive the most twisted of their challenges! Can he survive the reverse circus show by his own experience along the way?
Dedicated to the one beloved Carl Sanford "Sandy" Joslyn Petersen

Built with: Doom Builder X
Comments: You thought you'd seen everything. You thought you'd mastered every, any, and all single bad shovelware maps.
But I decided not to give you (or anyone who plays crap like this, in that regard) any rest.
So here ya go, o fellow brave souls. Tighten your Freudian anal retention, and toughen yourselves to 100% this map, especially on UV.
(PS. Those sectors spelling "back"? They're telling which narrow sector can be used to go back, should you fall down. Handy, huh?)
