when i spotted a new map that was added to the index, and saw it described as a
"darkwave-esque affair", and featured a pretty short runtime, i figured i had
to at least give it a shot.  turns out it was both not too bad to demo and a
lot of fun to play.  it's definitely got a bit of a mean streak though, which
you'll probably figure out walking through the first corridor and having a
silent closet drop a pain elemental on you at point blank range.  fortunately
it can be easily bullied.  one major theme here throughout the map is that
you'll be working with generally pretty limited resources, and getting more
will generally provoke retaliation.  it would be great to use berserk here...
but you don't get it until the map's almost over.  in any case, a little bit of
infighting goes a long way, and there are several green cybers to help out
along the way.  prioritize the archviles when you can too as they'll really
strain your resources if left to their own devices.  showing you one archvile
and then sliding out a second when you pick up the plasma is a little mean but
it makes that encounter pretty spicy.  i do the basement second as it can be a
little tricky to punch back through where the cyber is and saving up some
resources can help.  completing both wings gives you access to the yellow key
and the finale sequence.  the green cyber *really* did not want to help with
the infighting in the first battle (the small area reduces how much it fires)
and it wound up being kind of rough.  straferunning across to the far ledge
really helps though.  the second half went better as the cyber was more willing
to participate.  there's a couple more tricks after that (how do they do that
semitransparent archvile??) but if you've made it this far you're more or less
home free.

oh and in the yellow key secret the archvile can zap you through the lighted
window.  watch out for that.
