Overall rating:

This is part three of what must be one of the most interesting ZDoom series. In this medium-sized map you start in a quaint green outdoor area, and you have to go your way through a monster infested facility before you can see nature again and can leave the place.
The layout is nice, the ambience is sweet with lots of great mapping ideas and a very intelligent use of all the ZDoom features, which even add kind of a story to the map with a surprising finish.
Gameplay is not too hard. Only at the end I remembered that apart from the Supershotgun I had 100 rockets with me and gave them to some imps. It's tricky (especially with the Chaingunners), but rather easy if you're careful enough.

Overall, this is a great map which maybe could have been a bit harder.
I'm looking forward to the next episode!
