Overall rating:

This wad is remarkable but also frustrating and I aborted the game quite soon, because I was annoyed (or maybe I just don't feel good today).
The ambience is quite nice and atmospheric with textures from the gothic pack and some strange psychedelic sounds and foggy scenes. However, the rooms themselves are quite bare.
Gameplay is annoying, mainly because killed monsters rise from the dead after a while. This makes sense, since the author wanted to create a zombie map. But it makes the gameplay tedious nontheless. It's a matter of taste, I guess.
