Author Info : Never made a Heretic map before this. Description : A whole new dimension of UnAligned! The death of the Icons of Sin shattered reality and thrust you into a strange dimension of swords and sorcery. Now you must survive three distinct, dastardly episodes and defeat the three D'Sparils! UnBeliever is a three-episode, vanilla Heretic megaWAD where each episode offers a different gameplay experience and are designed to be played in any order. E1 has lots of gimmicky combat scenarios, mostly focused on Heretic's unique gadgets. E2's maps are ultra short and action- packed, built with only 100 linedefs a piece. And E3's trials require quick thinking and quicker reflexes.

The fix is close but not perfect, so if you want the "authentic" experience of this map, play in vanilla or Chocolate. 2) An HHE patch is included in the zip for use with vanilla and Chocolate Heretic, which contains new map and episode titles. However, there is a bug in Chocolate Heretic where the new titles will be overridden by the original map titles on the intermission screen. In addition, because of the limits of the format, some of the titles had to be shortened. Any port that supports MAPINFO will display the full, correct titles. Otherwise, refer to the section below for a complete list. 3) GZDoom has a bug where you can fall off some parts of the invisible platforms in E3M2 but don't fall all the way into the lava below. 4) Some objects flicker in and out when playing in vanilla or any ports that cap the number of sprites onscreen. Most noticeable in E2M8 and E3M8. 5) Pretty minor drawseg overflows in E3M7, in addition to visual glitches with the sky if you get up high enough.
