Description: I didn't know when I started running this map that it is another creation of Scionox. Once I knew that, the similarities with Doom 2 In City Only's Map 24 in architecture, detailing, and even monster placement jumped out at me.
The atmosphere of the map is very creepy, especially with the new monsters. The conveyor belts of demons really makes this factory feel alive, and the finale where the cyberdemons get their rocket launchers is such a good idea!
This map was really fun to figure out! My blind playthrough ran into ammo problems coming back from the red key. An archvile kept me stuck at the top of the stairs, and just kept resurrecting enemies. That's why I decided to open that door and lure everything out of that stairway in my route.
If the index didn't list that this map required an archvile jump, I wouldn't have figured out how to get the secret backpack. I had to open the map in UDB to find the secret switch to lower the supercharge. But it was fun to figure a map out without having someone else's guide to watch.
This was the first attempt to reach the finale. In practice, the difficulty of the fight comes down to if the cybers move away from the switches. I didn't have a good plan for getting them to move. For the last switch, I thought I pressed it, but a lost soul got in the way. There was a moment of panic when I thought the platforms to get out should have raised already. Thankfully it all worked out!
