The levels and story of Hell Revealed
-------------------------------------

Written by Yonatan Donner in a fit of insanity. Please don't read it.

Background - what happened BEFORE level 1
-----------------------------------------

About a year after you saved Earth (and had a change to finish millions of
PWADs after that), the planet looks once again like the wonderful
technologically advanced planet that is your home. UAC has started
rebuilding the Phobos and Deimos outposts, and despite your objections about
"Hell not being totally dead yet", the gates were rebuilt and reopened.
After several quiet weeks, nothing comes through and you get calm.

However, just as you relax, buy a computer and play "Doom II", a distress
signal is sent from the UAC outpost above Phobos. Attemps are made to
establish communications with the outposts, but they all fail. Is there
another invasion?

You, as the hero that saved Earth, are sent to the Phobos outpost to
investigate. (You have just finished Doom II so you had nothing better to do
anyway.) The big guys give you a shuttlecraft and since you never knew how
to pilot one, you more or less crash on the outpost and kaput go all your
weapons & ammo except for a pistol and 50 bullets!

You wear your worst face and go in to investigate the outpost and see what
the hell Hell has been up to this time.

MAP01 - Into the Gate
---------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

As a MAP01 should be, this level is quite small and easy, just a preparation
for the rest of the game. Enemies will beam all around you, but your trusty
shotgun is more than enough to kill them.

Story:
------

You enter UAC and find, just like you feared, bodies of UAC people scattered
around the place, but there are several hellspawn bodies along. Well, at
least the UAC guys didn't die without giving the hellspawns a good fight.
But not all hellspawns are dead. Several are alive and as you start
investigating more beam through the Hell->Earth gates. After killing them,
you decide that this just can't go on that way. You must re-enter Hell and
clean it, and this time you'll need to cut the dimensional connection
between the gates, not only destroy them. How ever, you find that the
Earth->Hell gate is closed. There must be a switch somewhere...?

MAP02 - Gateway Lab
-------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

A mainly technological level, this one is also quite easy.

Story:
------

You pass through the gate and arrive at Hell. This is the lab with the gates
on the Hell side. The gates are locked at another part of the lab and they
don't interest you. You must find the connection of Hell to our dimension
and destroy it, and for that you must first find the exit from the gateway
lab!

MAP03 - The Dumpster
--------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

A dirty level - this is Hell's Dumpster. The level is not too hard, but be
careful of all the trash they throw in here!

Story:
------

You arrive at Hell's Dumpster. This place stinks! You have to fight your way
through monsters, trash and the terrible smell to exit this place.

MAP04 - The Garden Terminal
---------------------------

Authors: Yonatan Donner and Haggay Niv

Description:
------------

This level is splitted into two main parts: The Garden and The Terminal. I
did The Garden and Haggay did The Terminal. I also made The Terminal harder
than it originally was, since Haggay is used to playing on I'm Too Young To
Die...

Story:
------

You are out in the open, in some kind of a hellish garden. You need to lower
a teleporter and finish the other part of the area, The Terminal.

MAP05 - Core Infection
----------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

This is the first difficult level! Finally I have freedom with monsters. You
can start having fun now!

Story:
------

You enter some kind of a heavily-populated technological center. This is
going to be tough to exit...

MAP06 - The Round Crossroads
----------------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

This is the end of a "mini-episode", and features the first arch-vile in the
levels. If you won't use the berserk on the demons, you'll run out of shells
and you'll have to use your precious plasma gun.

Story:
------

You enter another hell base. But in the end of this one awaits a passage to
a deadlier plain in hell...

MAP07 - Arachnophobia
---------------------

Authors: Haggay Niv and Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

Haggay did most of this level. I made it more difficult, expanded it and
fixed several things that had to be fixed. Many arachnotrons and a
spiderdemon quite sum up this one. Have fun killing them with your super
shotgun! By the way, look at the automap...

Story:
------

What is this? You're in what appears to be a spider?! And it's populated by
many of those, too! Get out as quickly as possible, but if you're a real
hero, kill the mother of all spiders!

MAP08 - The Jail
----------------

Author: Haggay Niv with minor bug fixes and thing placement by Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

Haggay did this level only after much pressure by me, but at least he did
it. Be careful with your ammo because there isn't much of it after the
beginning, when you kill the sergeants and get 100 shells. Use the crusher
to kill barons, and get the demons and imps to kill each other.

Story:
------

You've been imprisoned. And this jail has many vicious guards. The other
prisoners aren't very friendly, either...

MAP11 - Underground Base
------------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

This is an underground level I did before we started doing this megawad.
It's not very difficult, but it has it's challenges and I'll remember it as
the level that made me do this project.

Story:
------

You enter an underground hell base. You seem to be getting deeper into hell.
Destroy the base and get the hell out.

MAP09 - Slime Disposal
----------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

This is the second wad I ever built! (I was still using DEU for Doom 1.) I
converted it and fixed it. It doesn't look amazing, but some parts of it are
cute and I of course made it more difficult...

Story:
------

Slime, slime, slime... This is getting dirtier and dirtier.

MAP10 - Chambers of War
-----------------------

Author: Haggay Niv with minor bug fixes and thing placement by Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

Haggay did this level only after much pressure by me, but at least he did
it. It's the first time I saw Haggay put strong monsters in a level.

Story:
------

You're in some kind of house filled with big, ugly enemies. This house is
the entrance to the last stage in your search for the way to close the
connection between Hell and our dimension.

MAP11 - Underground Base
------------------------

Author: Yonatan Donner

Description:
------------

This is an underground level I did before we started doing this megawad.
It's not very difficult, but it has it's challenges and I'll remember it as
the level that made me do this project.

Story:
------

You enter an underground hell base. You seem to be getting deeper into hell.
The connection is right here, just get to it! It's well guarded though. Go
down and down and press the switch that will get you home, destroying the
dimensional connection.

-------------------------------------------------------

OR WILL IT???

Be prepared for some more levels by Haggay Niv and Yonatan Donner, maybe for
Quake...
