Background Story:
It has been several weeks since you defeated the aliens, and since
then you have been spending your time searching through the ruins of your
home city, looking for survivors, either alien or human. So far, all you
have found is rubble and corpses. This changed when you came across one of
UAC's biological/genetic research facilities located in a remote section
of the city.
Before the invasion, the facility made itself useful by genetically
engineering plants and animals as part of a plan to increase the world's
food supply, but contact was lost shortly after the invasion began, and it
was believed destroyed. By the human-sounding screams and demon-like growls
coming from it now, it's obvious that it's very much open for business-
being used by the demons to continue their experiments- on humans.
Filled with rage, you realize that there is no time to call for
backup; the facility must be retaken before the monsters can use it to
rebuild their decimated armies, or worse yet, to create new horrors.
Drawing your pistol, you enter the facility through an unused doorway, hoping
to take the monsters by surprise... clean out the facility, and then find the
way out...
Author's hints/tips/comments: (Spoiler warning!)
1. Some of the computer terminals aren't just for show. :)
2. On Ultra-violence mode, the CyberDemon can be avoided, as long as you
stay off the grass...
3. There *is* a way out of the outdoor slime pit if you get trapped inside.
4. SAVE THE GAME before you try to pick up the yellow key. Trust me. :)
5. There is method to the amount/placement of monsters in the first room.
On Ultra-Violence, it may be better to just tick 'em off and let them
kill as many of each other as possible.
6. In the room with all the crates, the lift sectors stand out thanks to
the fact that they can only have one tag... which meant I couldn't tag
the light switch to them, as well as have them do what they're supposed
to... darn.
7. You can tell I learned level editing while building this level, as many
features are there solely because I wanted to try them out.
