* Additional Information *

I started working on this in late 2024. Originally this was intended to be released around March 2025 but life happened. So, here it is one year later.

- Tested under UZDoom 4.14.3+Brutal Doom v21, GZDoom 4.5.0+Brutal Doom v21, and Gzdoom 4.5.0 with no mods.

- This map probably doesn’t technically require freelook and jumping but I would not recommend going without it.

- Originally, all 3 keys were required to complete the map, but I made it require only one because people are busy in 2026. 

  - You won’t get 100% kills unless you get all 3 keys, though.


* Hints *

- Watch your back.

- The world is interconnected energies and circles, as such, the order in which you get the keys doesn't matter.

- The gateway to progress is often a leap of faith; hence jumping from ledges may open up passages.

- You are supposed to hit all switches in the game except two. One doesn't work, and one will cause your immiment demise if you are not quick.

- Really, watch your back. And front. And all of the other 358 degrees too.


* Acknowledgements *

Thanks to my old friend Rage for taking a look at this in early 2024 
and approving of progress.
