I went and wrote riddles for the whole thing. I'm not sure if there needs to be more or not. The format I used is outline everything you can do on each map instead of lining up each path you can take (hard and easy).
Spoiler:I imagine there are mistakes in there. I need to run it through spell check at least.

Beached:
--------------
Q: What do I do in the cave beneath the small island to the north?
A: You will need a weapon to progress.
Q: Where do I find a weapon?
A: Someone has been cutting down trees to make firewood.
Q: I still can't find an axe.
A: It's to the left of your starting position. Follow the tree stumps to find it.
Q: How do I defeat the fire dropping demon? It says I can't even scratch it!
A: You'll have to find another way. Those pillars seem weak...
Q: The roof caved in!
A: Go back the way you came when you hit the final pillar.
Q: The exit is blocked. How do I get out?
A: You'll have to find another path. Maybe the earthquake opened up a new path.
Q: I'm still stuck in here!
A: The exit is to your west, below the first pillar you hit.
Q: I caused an earthquake, now what?
A: Do some diving. Along the east cliff face is a popular spot.
Q: Trees are blocking my way? What do I do?
A: You can't cut them down, maybe you can burn them.
Q: I found fire, but I can't carry it in my hands.
A: You'll need some of that magic wood that never burns out.
Q: Where can I find this wood?
A: You'll need to do some swimming, but not in the ocean or in a cave.
Q: I can't get the stick, why not?
A: This is a good oppourtunity to test out your new axe.
Q: Okay, I have the death artifact and now I'm stuck in a pit!
A: The death artifact communicates with dead spirits. Maybe they can help you out.
Q: I can't jump over this pit with fire at the bottom, but see a path on the other side.
A: Maybe the corpse on the edge of the pit can help you here.
Q: That group of mushrooms must do something, but what?
A: Time will tell you what you need to do here.
----------
Gloam:
----------
Q: What's with those eggs?
A: They are just typical eggs. More interesting is what's above the eggs.
Q: So, what's with that symbol above the eggs?
A: If I remember correctly, I saw an emble like that in a cave to the north-west
Q: I can't take the emblem out of it's socket, what do I do?
A: Maybe it'll come loose if you hit it.
Q: I have the emblem, now what?
A: The emblem is green. what else is green? trees are green. Where are lots of trees?
Q: What's the deal with the ring of pillars? I can see through a crack and there's water below.
A: You can't get in there yet, you'll open it later when you find a lever.
Q: The statue looks like it's missing it's horns, where do I get them?
A: The eggs are connected to this. Come back when you hatched the eggs.
Q: Okay, I found the horns, and placed them on the statue. After that where do I go?
A: If you may remember, there's a ledge with two similar statues on it, maybe it holds a clue.
Q: I can't remember, where are those statues?
A: If you really need to know, they are in the cave to the north-west.

Bosk:
--------
Q: I found an emblem panel. It looks like part of it is missing.
A: you are correct, you'll need to replace the missing part.
Q: Where do I find the missing emblem?
A: It's not here, but in Gloam
Q: I found this massive tree, but seems like it's empty with nowhere to go.
A: Look for a crack in the wall. Maybe you can persuade the crack to let you through.
Q: I found a little bug, but when I pick it up, the mushrooms come alive and kill me.
A: The bug has a connection with mushrooms. You'll need to run when you pick it up.
Q: The journal mentioned a hidden area? Where is it?
A: Without giving it away, it is behind some bushes with light coming through them.
------------
Retreat:
------------
Q: Wow, this place is huge, where do I go?
A: where ever you want to go.
Q: Really, I'm lost, where do I go?
A: Near the temple you'll find a panel with three missing emblems. Guess what you need to do.
Q: The monsters here seem more dangerous, and I only have an axe.
A: You'll be glad to know that there are two weapons here. Finding them both are suggested first steps.
Q: I found a dark cave, I'm afraid of the dark.
A: You'll have to get over your fears for this one. Don't worry, it isn't a big cave.
Q: I found a large patch of moss. It must do something.
A: remember what has a connection with mushrooms?
Q: This tower looks kind of cool, how do I get to the basement?
A: The top of the tower has a fire pit for signals. Your guess on what you need to start the fire.
Q: I found an underground area with an odd tree with a coin inside it. What do I do?
A: The walls hold more than just clues in this underground area.
Q: I see a rock which if it fell, would bridge a gap. How do I get it to fall?
A: Look around the rock, looks like cracks doesn't it?
Q: I have the coins and put them on the emblem panel, now what?
A: you may have seen closed doors to the temple. Guess what opened.

Height:
----------
Q: I need to get across this lake, but I can't because it seems to be poisonous.
A: you'll need to cleanse the lake somehow.
Q: No kidding, but how?
A: In a cave to the west you should find a large glowing rock, that holds the answer.
Q: I can't break the rock apart with my hands though.
A: You need to think like a miner and bring a pick-axe.
Q: where can I get a pick-axe though?
A: One part is on this map, down by the beach. You'll need to swim, but not in the ocean water.
Q: what about the other part of the pick-axe?
A: It's on the first beach you started on. Think of something that you couldn't do there before
Q: What can I do that I couldn't do before?
A: Mushrooms are your friend.
Q: there's this strange alter on the beach, what's it for?
A: See the three pedestals? They hold the answer.
Q: I see, the cylinders fit on the pedastels, but I don't have all three
A: One is in gloam underneat the ringed ruins. One is in retreat in the dark cave. And the last is here on height
past the red lake.
Q: I put the three cylinders in their sockets but nothing happened. DId I screw up?
A: Not really, just take the cylinders back and try a different pattern.

Hallowed:
--------------
Q: I found a pipe in the basement, but I can't turn the valve with my fingers.
A: you'll need a valve handle. Look for another pipe room on the upper floor.
Q: I still can't find the pipe room.
A: It's in the northwest side of the map.
Q: I turned the valve, now what?
A: Look around, you should see an area that once had water, but doesn't now. A door has opened in that area.
Q: I found a lever but it's rusted.
A: Only mushroom oil can make this lever work again
Q: I don't have mushroom oil, where do I get it?
A: It was on beached. If you missed it you can either go back and look for it, or look for the valve on this map.
Q: I oiled up the lever and actiaved it. What did it do?
A: It lowers a bridge.
Q: I crossed the bridge and pulled another lever, what does this one do.
A: You should hear stones grinding above you. Don't be alarmed, it's just stairs to the gardern.
Q: what's the point of the stairs to the garden?
A: The gardern holds a key item (quite litterally).
Q: where does this key go?
A: from the place you got the key, keep going directly west and you should find the keyhole. Then again, you might not find it at all
Q: I've made it to the beach, but can't set sail on the boat with the flying monsters around. Oh please help me!
A: You may have noticed three pillars, two of which had a small statue on it. You may have also found a monster statue laying
around further down the cliffs. Put two and two together.
Q: What's with the ending?
A: sorry!
This had a bit of a Metroid feel to me -- the location to location puzzle solving bit, at least. But it's so hard to navigate that I think there should be teleport shortcuts that open up once you've found a place. Perhaps a teleport hub area. What might also help navigation is if certain lines were hidden on the automap, but that would be a lot of work with so many lines...
I've just finished playing this and it is very unique in terms of its atmosphere and gameplay; I haven't seen anything like this in Doom AFAIK. I like its non-linearity and how epic the adventure seemed, and the island setting is just awesome. It took me about 2 hours to finish this on skill 2, but I must have missed a lot of secrets. I was able to get along without the walkthrough for a while, but around Retreat, I had to resort to reading it. It's probably my fault though, and my impatience. It is nice to see that a hint textfile is being made, though, to avoid a direct walkthrough, which spoils the whole thing.
