Description             : In a world shrouded in darkness, where the forces
                         of evil hold dominion, one hero must rise to the
                         challenge.
                         Prepare for an epic journey into the heart of
                         darkness with 'Hexen: Veil of Darkness' - a fresh
                         and fiendish hub adventure utilising the power of
                         GZDoom's Hardware mode.

                         In this corner of Cronos, a shadowy sorceress, the
                         notorious and macabre Mistress Nox, has acquired
                         the Chaos Sphere. With its dark power at her
                         disposal, she's been busy building an army of
                         abominations, casting the world into eternal
                         twilight.

                         You are the chosen one, a hero marked by the Gods
                         themselves. Your divine quest? Venture through
                         treacherous swamps, delve deep into haunted
                         forests, explore creepy castles and dungeons, and
                         ultimately unlock the enigmatic portal to the
                         Shadow Realm.

                         Prepare thyself for:

                         New and nastier adversaries to conquer.
                         Shiny new items to master and wield.
                         Puzzles to perplex and ponder.
                         An intricate hub world for you to get lost in (in
                         the best possible way).
                         Interact with exciting new 3D objects - including
                         crates that beg to be smashed and treasure chests
                         that need unlocking.


                         Additional info about new items:

                         The Talisman of the Depths lets you breathe underwater for a limited time
                         The Emerald Amulet lets you resist acid for a limited time (like a Doom radsuit)
