This modification, released on September 14, 2024, for PC (Microsoft Windows), is built upon the foundation of Doom II: Hell on Earth. It introduces a unique progression system centered around a specific design constraint: the number of lines present in each map.

Core Concept and Progression

The central design philosophy of this mod is its "limit-based" structure. Each map is meticulously crafted with a precise count of lines, which are fundamental elements of the game's environment. The progression is linear, with the first map containing exactly 100 lines. This number doubles for the second map, increasing to 200 lines, and continues this pattern up to the 32nd map, which features 3200 lines.

What is the gameplay experience like?

Players will engage in the familiar shooter mechanics of the parent game. The challenge is amplified by the systematic increase in the line count across maps, which directly impacts the scale and complexity of the environments. This design encourages players to adapt their spatial awareness and strategic approach as the maps become more expansive.

Distinctive Features and Design Philosophy

The defining characteristic of this modification is its strict adherence to a line-count escalation. This creates a distinct gameplay loop where players must master the core shooting mechanics while navigating environments that systematically grow in size and potential complexity. This approach offers a novel way to experience the established gameplay of Doom II, emphasizing a structured increase in challenge and scale.

How does the line count affect gameplay?

The increasing number of lines directly influences the layout and scope of each map. As the line count rises, the environments become larger, potentially offering more opportunities for exploration, flanking maneuvers, or presenting more complex navigational challenges. This systematic escalation ensures a consistent sense of progression and a growing challenge for players.
