A lone mercenary, desperately looking for redemption.
A quest: find and rescue the captives from a grim dungeon, before the moon rises.
The player will find himself stuck in a vast and highly dangerous dungeon, filled with traps, bloodthirsty demons and vile creatures.
The mission is simple: find the prisoners and go back, trying to bring them all out alive, but careful!
When the moon shines, do not provoke the helpless!
Several strong weapons can be found around the place, use them wisely!
Some may be strong against a beast, but not so much against a ghost!
Equip yourself with sturdy armor pieces and obtain the most powerful potions and the numerous hidden secrets to aid you on your journey!
Will you be able to become the hero of this story, will you run away like you already did, or will you end up eaten alive by the weres?
The single map comes together with a huge package of basically everything, from textures and graphics, to monsters and weapons, new game mechanics, like quests, dodging, day-night cycles etc. and menu settings.
Tons of new stuff!
A well printed list can be found in the README file inside the .zip (PLEASE READ IT! there are important tips, unless you want to be left free to discover, of course)
My main goal was to leave the player freedom to discover and choose how to play, that's why you won't find in game text explaining the new mechanics, except for the pictures in the HELP menu, you're free to choose if you want to play it like you would usually do in a normal Doom map or to treat it as a brand new experience (of course the latter may be more "Helpful").
The same goes for the map progression!
The player can choose to leave the map even at the very beginning if sturdy enough. Check the quest journal to know what you are expected to do and decide yourself. I put it down like I made a new amazing indie game with thousands of quests, choices etc. but it's much easier than that T_T
The map and the stuff you'll find are heavily inspired by The Elder Scrolls series, so you may think it's more on the Hexen/Heretic side: well kind of.
Still I wanted to bring Doom in medieval times and break the game limits!
The creatures in this mod will have resistances and weaknesses to specific damage types.
To learn the best way to deal with them is to check the specific Help menu and, just in case, activate the "show icons" setting in the option menu (or directly disable this feature from the menu...)
MONSTERS:
Spoiler:
-Plague Rat:
Weak and nimble, an easy target, but deadly in a pack.
-Lost Wraith:
Looking for a corpse to posses, kill it fast.

Slow but unpredictable, easy to kill but it won't stay dead unless incinerated or gutted open.
-Hanger:
Forever stuck on its chains it will try to blind its target with putrid mucus.

Spoiler:
-Captive:
Now a fragile man, lost in the dungeon, escaping death, maybe losing something else in the years, waiting to be saved, but maybe they hide something.
-Witch:
Never anger the witch, sneaky and evil, will offer a pact, but the price inhuman.
A proper credit file can be found inside the .zip, hopefully I covered everyone, if not present it means I made the thing or I couldn't find the owner!
Here I want to thank the brave souls who tested the map and helped me fixing bugs and gave me many advice!
I tried it already. It is very nice and moody. But I have few problems. I can't get the innocents to safety, I just don't know how to do that. They maybe try to follow, but don't in the end.
And I some of the monsters are really annoyingly bullet spongy. I get that some can be killed quite fast if I use specific weapon, but for some I just didn't found a way to kill them in resonable manner.

Thank you for your feedback!
The captives will start to run towards the dungeon entrance on their own after you talk to them, I tried to avoid any real "escort mission" because everyone hates them x). Although, due to map's layout and how the path following mechanic works the tend to get stuck some times, so it's always better to clean any possible monster blocking their path, player included of course.
I see, I feared this could be an issue if I didn't balance properly damage output and monsters health D:
Could you tell me which monsters you find to be excessively tanky? I can guess is the Archfiend and perhaps the Pinky equivalent, if so, I was already planning on reducing their hp, because I agree
I'm leaving a quick hint down here that translates the page with the resistances and weaknesses in the HELP menu:
Spoiler:
Deep monsters (Vore, Worm, Grell):
Extremely resistant to: Acid (acid flasks)
Very resistant to: Bludge (torch swing, fists, urchins impact)
Resistant to: Poison (poisoned arrows), Silver (automatic crossbow)
Little Resistant to: Hellfire (no weapon implemented yet)
Weak to: Fire (flaming arrows, torch), Explosions (urchin cannon, barrels)
