Reviews:

Anonymous	At the start, it's mildly interesting - claustrophobic, done in a realistic rather than a stylized fashion, but it quickly gets frustrating when you run through the entire map the umpteenth time desperately trying to figure out what happened after THIS switch. Avoid. 0/5 - ZZ	x
Anonymous	Too easy get boring when finding way and switch hunting... Good on detail but too easy to get lost. I like it but hate its complex... 3.5/5 -playerlin	x
Anonymous	This wad is pretty claustrophobic and there are too much hidden passages and switches that are essential to use. Could be better. 3/5 P.S. And this spambot check is HELL.	x
Anonymous	I think this one's underrated. Texture usage is very creative, both in architecture and in VERY creative details. Gameplay is very original. I had to solve a few puzzles, but I was still able to proceed at a good clip. The layout was complex, but the themes changed just enough so I knew when I was making progress. Far from perfect - crammed, and you can get stuck. But still one of the best I've played in a long while. 4/5 NT	x
Anonymous	nice!	x
Anonymous	Boring.	x
Anonymous	One too many doors opened by hidden switches for me. More hunt and peck than run and shoot.	x

Misc. Author Info       : All you need to know about me is in the .txt file
                          for my first submission to this archive. Has it
                          already been over a year since my first
                          submission? Guess I move slow, hunh? Well,
                          here's another one from 1996, but this one has
                          been massively retooled and rejigged. Now it's
                          got jagged steel teeth and an indiscriminate will
                          for terror and bloodshed. 
                          Make sure to activate jumping and freelook.
                          You'll need them.
