(Translated from demon speak) ('I am most impressed a lowly human can withstand the pain of some of my best interrigators. I am now curious as to how much pain you can really withstand. I will give you a chance to get free. You must run the Gauntlet. To survive you must complete the challenges including facing my many minions, solving puzzles, and collecting the six keys needed to win.

This is dated July 1996. The readme suggests some quality impse - you're in prison, being tortured by an imp called "Bubba" - but sadly the author chose not to run with this. Instead the level is a decent, old-fashioned rocky hub, with 250+ baddies. Looks older than 1996 but plays decently. Tonnes of health and ammo, and a mazey layout that often makes you do the same thing over and over again. With a bit of pruning it would have been okay, but unexceptional.x
