"Navidson Realty" is a reference to House of Leaves, a mindfuck book that is about a house that is much much bigger on the inside. The homeowners name is Navidson.
@@CrashingWaves-dm6oi I met Mark Z. Danielewski at a book signing back in 2019. He did a Q + A too. He was an awesome dude, incredibly nice and filled with insightful answers to our questions. He seemed genuinely touched when I told him how heavily House of Leaves had inspired me as a writer.
fair warning to anyone wanting to read that: the book is designed as a literary labyrinth mirroring the labyrinthine house in the story. a single paragraph of text will lead you through multiple layers of footnotes, appendices, off-kilter page numbering, text laid in spirals, multiple side-track references, and possibly leave you staring at a photograph of sketchy handwriting. it's hard even to bookmark where you've left off.
This is what i found on Doomwiki for those who are interessted.copy pasted (spoiler) In August 2022, Veddge experienced the loss of a childhood friend, named Tom (Thomas Allord). The emotional state that Tom's death provoked in Veddge appears to have had a strong influence on the content that was added to the map. When the map's release thread by Veddge was first made on March 3, 2023, the download link provided was a simple file link. About a week later - around March 10, 2023 - this link was changed to a full Google Drive folder containing not just the file, but photos, screenshots and a personal journal related to the map - some of which appear to provide more context for the surreal and cryptic nature of the map. The Google Drive link also contains a zip file with a greatly simplified variant of this map in "myhouse.wad", which features no content beyond the first version of the House and the first three keycards. The map explores themes of isolation, nostalgia, grief, mental unrest, childhood trauma and existential horror. In terms of its various approaches to architecture, it seems to take direct inspiration from Internet creepypastas and the concept of liminal spaces to provoke unsettling feelings in the player. The distorted MP3 version of "Running From Evil" that plays during the majority of this level, "memory=entryrrrr/////" by esselfortium, is inspired by the album series Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker, which focuses heavily on dementia in old age, musically representing the effects of memory loss and mental deterioration through the use of white noise and repeating earlier musical material with greater and greater levels of distortion as it progresses.[2] The map's giant concrete labyrinth appears to be directly inspired by House of Leaves, a documentary novel by Mark Z. Danielewski about an endless, constantly-changing labyrinth inside a family's home. The sign that appears in the empty lot after the House disappears says "Navidson Realty - For Sale". In the novel, Navidson is the name given to the family who own the house.
the sheer accidental cinematic quality of 46:30 is astounding. The abrupt stop to the music, the hum of the lights quickly interrupting any peace of mind, and then the panicked looking all around finally stopping on a still view of a long corridor just for a shadowy figure to pass far off in the distance in complete silence. Bravo Vince.
@@NekkoBlue yeah, the second he talked about the wad being found on a floppy the parent gave him I went "oh, creepypasta bullshit story time" The family of your dead friend giving you a box of your dead friends stuff is lame horror movie plot 101
This is like one of those nightmares that makes you wake up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night but you dont remember what it was about so you dont know why it woke you up.
I have dreams like this from time to time. It always catches me off guard because a lot of my dreams are like this and perfectly fine without being a nightmare. Every once in a while something scares the shit out of me in these dreams and I can't remember what happened in the dream and I can't shake the feeling something is after me for hours after I wake up. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
@@SonnoMaku This is not a joke: get checked for sleep apnea. This used to happen to me with some regularity. Doctor said I have amongst the worst cases of sleep apnea he has seen. And it hasn't happened to me once since i got my CPAP.
I get dreams of nothingness sometimes where I burst awake at the dead of night and have an inexplicable urge to leave the house and go somewhere. No, not somewhere, just away from where I am as fast as possible. It isn't even an avoidable or shakable feeling, I literally need to get up, leave the house I'm at and go about a block away before I realize what I'm doing. I have to tell myself that I need to go back, that what I'm doing isn't right. I've had it so bad one time that I ran downstairs, threw on a bathrobe over just shorts, ran out into a blizzard and foot of snow over to another building. After making it over there, I just stood in shocked silence for who knows how long before repeating the trek in reverse to my house. I have no idea what it is that makes me do it, but it may have something to do with me being sensitive to spirits. I always have been. It runs in my family. I even have a Guardian. She watches over me, always. She's not always visible and she doesn't make herself known, but when she is and does, it's usually her trying to communicate some silent message of warning to me. These dire feelings of imminent dread urging me to vacate wherever I am may come from her warning me of spiritual danger nearby. That's how I've translated it, at least. Thank you, Guardian. I know I'm not supposed to tell people about you, but I felt it necessary for this comment, on this video's comment section, considering the context.
there's also the multiple floors on top of each other, something that isn't physically possible with doom's engine. that alone is worth some mad respect but it's barely even a footnote next to the genius of the plot progression
I get that there's like a readme describing a ghost possessing the level in clasic creepypasta fashion but i think the way the level unravels is also just a cool metaphor for memories blending together and becoming hazier with the passage of time
It's less "a ghost possessed this level" and more "a guy made this level to channel his grief for his dead husband, somehow unaware that he is also dead"
I really want someone to make one of those "you're playing an old children's game but there's a demon in the cartridge or whatever" games, where the twist is that the demon has to play by the rules of the kids' game. Instead of everything becoming bloody and completely demonic like usual, he'd have to use the game's internal logic for his plans, like he surrendered himself to this world by entering the game. ...I guess that's sort of what Undertale's secret ending tried to do, but even that really wasn't worked out as well as it could've been.
@@kevinm5940 Yeah. Flowey tapped into his full-on edgy kid mode and it was more amusing than threatening, lol. Maybe that was the intent, to make him look pathetic because his whole worldview was flawed.
It made mine drop because Navidson Realty is probably a House of Leaves reference. House of Leaves, in a very basic summary, is about a house that basically has its own dimension that changes in size a lot.
My neurons started activating when non euclidean geometry is associated with the name Thomas. Vinny's first ending around 45:00 just about confirmed my suspicions that the wad was, to an extent, inspired by House of Leaves. The name Navidson on the real estate sign must be a nod to the book. The main character of the book (rather, the creator of the documentary that exists within the book's universe) is Will Navidson. He just so happens to have a younger brother named Tom. I will be spoiling the book here, so if you haven't read it yet, this is both a warning and a sign to borrow it from your local library or purchase it to read at your leisure. Close to the end of the book Tom dies attempting to flee the shape shifting structure. If memory serves right (it very well couldn't, I haven't touched the book in a few years) the house caves in on itself and leaves nothing but a vacant property. Mirroring that of Vinny's ending. All in all, good stuff, props to the WAD maker.
@@valleybiitch you are right. I was writing in such a manic and sleep deprived state I forgot the name of a central character. I will edit the original comment to reflect this correction.
Seeing the house get burned, then old and decrepit, then get demolished and the lot sold was really saddening… i can’t help but think that it is meant to represent the inevitability that everything you find stability in will eventually only be a memory.
This wad really hit me in the feels. My childhood home was demolitioned and sold. Nothing remains of it except a few images. I... miss it. This wad really made me think about my childhood. And how things felt at the time. How excited I was for the future and my friends. I don't keep in touch with any of them anymore. I don't know where any of them are. Sometimes I miss the old days. But I always try to remember that eventually, these days will be old days too. So enjoy them as best you can. That way you'll have happy memories.
@@trslim6032 it also is important to remember that you will make new happy memories in the future. Life goes on. It’s all about how you decide to walk forward; you can try and be excited for what’s around the corner or just let life beat you.
@@circleinforthecube5170 my house was built in the 1890s. It was an old house. We actually found old newspapers and letters from the twenties in the walls. We put years of work into that house. Seeing it wrecked tore me up. My mom was heartbroken by it. I just wish I could have been in it one last time. As an adult so I could capture those memories.
Absolutely agree. It’s like when you visit an older relative that managed to stay sharp for years to the point that their house is still as cozy as it was in your childhood and then watching things start to get let go once their health starts to deteriorate. I know it’s oddly specific but, it’s something I went through and the mod reminded me of it.
Interesting note: in one of the endings you get a QR code that links you to the obituary of the guy who created this map in the paper right beside Tom's obit, saying that Steven and Tom died around the same time and were (most likely) lovers who will be having a joint funeral. This wad was uploaded by a gost.
Probably a ghost, I feel like it's darker; Steve and Tom are dead for a full month before the mod even begins development, so neither of them can actually be involved with this map, and there's hints of an unknown 3rd person peppered at a few points in the map (the most telling one imo is the flashlight in the reverse gas station, the one that lays where the crashed car used to be; mirror worlds car isn't crashed, its parked by the station so whoever drove it had no reason to be in the forest, the flashlight belongs to someone else); Something someone else on the forum noticed is that in the picture frame of Tom and Steve, in the files, the picture looks particularly wrong on second glance after seeing their images in the obituaries, it's because the profile shots from those obituaries are reversed in the picture and colorized, it's a fake picture that someone put there for some reason
Well, in the journal attached to the .wad (.pk3) file there were mentions of a loved one who Veddge (Steven) wishes to get back together with, plus it's not "S+T" in the game, it's "S+A", Steven and someone unnamed. The bad, gravestone ending is probably symbolises deathwish, while the good ending symbolises moving on and pursuing happines with that unnamed person.
It's weird how, depending on how long you play, this can either be "oh, cute little tribute" or "genuine pain of losing a beloved friend, but knowing they'd want you to complete their project"
This was the first vod in a long time that i just sat and watched no breaks, without it being on the side monitor. I am not a doom player, so if I was captivated I cannot imagine the reactions of those who love the game and are map creators themselves. damn. this was so good.
Just read the thread for this WAD on Doomworld to see everyone's reactions. Pretty much everyone in the thread was mindblown by this. I've seen a ton of respected mappers and members of the Doom community call this one of the greatest WADs of all time. Hard to believe this is the first ever release by the author, and that he hadn't even logged on to Doomworld since 2006 before starting to talk about making this.
@@tjg121389 A lot of speculation about who it might be. I get BPRD vibes (among many others), but the guy moved on from Doom maps more than fifteen years ago, and I don't think he'd do all the expanded media stuff. Probably several people anyway - and whoever they are, it's kind of pointless to guess. They'll come out or they won't, and that'll be that. Aside from this map definitely getting a Cacoward in December, which... well, I haven't seen a shoe-in *this* hard before. The account it was actually posted on is almost certainly an old burner considering a lot of the forum messages are in-character to the WAD itself, but if this is legitimately someone's first map they're a savant.
The moment the doors open like doors, the moment the gun animations gain more frames, the moments when the original soundtrack start to change... Yeah.
This wad is giving mad House of Leaves vibes and I'm here for it. EDIT: Okay I made this comment when I was only about 20 mins in. Now I'm at 44:22 and there's no way that's not a House of Leave reference. What the fuck, man I love this.
I think the scariest thing about this map, is how unbelievably well made it is, it does things that shouldn't even be possible with the doom engine, it just feels wrong
1:47:45 The best/worst part about that "Let the TSA search your Goatse" comment everybody shamed Vinny for reading is that the guy said the exact same thing an hour earlier during the first playthrough (46:29 in the Twitch VOD) and everyone missed it.
@@ipaqmaster out of all the horror games I’ve played, the bathroom demon jump scare was one of the most scariest experiences I have had in YEARS. Literally because you look in the mirror and see blood knowing something bad will happen, then you look back and see blood outside, further foreshadowing that the “problem” is coming, and then the entrance is gone, and in that one moment you have no choice but to just sit there waiting what’s going to happen.
If you like the theme of this wad and enjoy reading, it is directly inspired by a great horror book called House of Leaves. The sign on the lawn "Navidson Realty" confirms it's inspiration I read the book years ago and it's a serious psychological trip
I'd be down for a game like that. Traversing random surreal dream worlds populated with bizarre enemies using weapons and items that don't make any sense? Sign me up.
@@cryptonaut1435 I was working on a thing, not doom, but more like Kingdom Hearts/Yume Nikki. Conceptually, Yume Nikki is built on a traditional RPG stripped down to it's core, so the idea was to apply that principle to a 3D Action RPG, really embrace making moving around and exploring the world a joy. It kinda fell apart because I'm unskilled and don't have the attention span though. If you want some surreal stuff tho, might I recommend checking out Felix Colgrave, Animusic, and the Minds Eye movies?
I just noticed the playroom area has a chair facing the wall, for being put in time-out. Subtle little clue to things not being quite as happy as they seem
love how many subtle changes that Vinny missed starting at 11:00 1. the roof is now curved instead of flat 2. the playstation near the tv turned into a xbox 3. mirrors now show reflections of the rooms other than the player 4. the laundry closet turned into a stairwell for the attic 5. the doors have an opening closing animation 6. the music is different 7. the doom reloading animations are smoother all completely ignored
I cannot sing this mod's praises enough, because even if you don't read the description or the extra materials or anything, even if you get the empty lot ending and miss half the game, you're still getting one of the most emotionally effective pieces of art made in this engine. Also I did manage to find everything in this game on my own EXCEPT for the hospital and the BFG. I cannot possibly tell you how I figured out the beach, it kinda happened by accident
i knew from the moment we stepped in that this wouldn't be your average map... the craftsmanship looked far too good for something supposedly made more than a decade ago by a couple of teenagers. what an amazing set of twists and turns, too. the music slowly warping and glitching until it completely loses touch entirely with reality... such a skilled mapmaker and musician!
The 80s arcade carpets are actually pretty incredible at hiding the fact they are dirty. The cleaning crew can leave them be for longer and unless something actually stains it will be hard for people to notice.
Love seeing Vinny react to this crazy thing, but every time I watch somebody play it I feel a little worse about how quickly I resorted to shooting the good dog.
Can't blame you, when you see a random innocent-looking dog in the middle of a madhouse you know for a fact some shit is about to go down with that good boi.
@@TheTimesOfOld i am, it was tough especially growing up never truly getting to know them. It definitely taught me (at a shockingly young age) that arguing about stupid crap is pointless and we all should enjoy life to the fullest
the jumpscare at 35:10 got me so bad I jumped and spilled hot cocoa all over my blankets and bedsheets and am now washing them in the basement before I can go back to bed.
this is a wonderful map and it kinda reminds me of the hl2 mod "Watching Paint Dry" where you just expect it to be 5 minutes of gameplay and then discover all these cool endings and secrets. + the destruction of euclid was just the cherry on top. Loved it, great tribute to tom. RIP.
The thing that really started to get me freaked out was when you could first tell the music was slipping. Kinda like if a bodysnatcher took your grandma and you get a brief glimpse of a black tendril lashing out of its mouth to eat a hard candy, wrapper and all.
Oh, this is VERY explicitly the Doom edition of House of Leaves. Besides the other references people have mentioned, the journal that comes with the map download always highlights the word house in blue. I'd love to see more games and mods inspired by books TBH, there's lots of untapped potential.
The term is 'walk-in basement'. Often they're built into slopes, so there;s literally a "first floor" entrance with the main first floor of a house, and then a "basement" that, around the back or side of the house, walks out to a lower level of a slope. I live in such a house, which in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana etc would be unimaginable.
I really enjoy the idea of such houses. I still vividly remember the neighbor's house from 25+ years ago which sort of had that, with the garage at basement level... This house is similar to that, only there's no direct walk up to a front door around the garage. Grandpa, your house plans weren't always the greatest... fetching 15º plus driveway while in a snow heavy state what were you thinking hmrbgrbl...
I think its suposed to represent the passage of time. The ps1 also becomes an xbox in that house. I also think that the brutalist apartment might represent a jump in time as well, since I think a lot of millennials can relate to having their childhoods in warm spacious homes and their adulthood in more souless/utilitarian apartment buildings.
@@sirrealism7300 you are right. That view does 100% come from me having a privileged background and I should have considered how most milenials might not have had that experience and worded that better. I grew up in a bubble and overlooked that it is not the world.I do wonder if perhaps the map's creator was trying to communicate something similar to what I talked though.
@@dudestep yeah i definitely think so, its hard for me to relate to that for that reason as i grew up during the housing market crash... I still think the wad is really cool though, I especially love how the music starts off. I just wish it didn't rip so much off of liminal spaces/the backrooms, and instead took a far more disturbing psychological route... I had the idea of making a game where randomly, a warning essentially pops up saying "Are you squeamish?"... and if you press "No" then you are given like five more warnings explaining in detail what you might end up seeing, stressing in extreme detail how absolutely certain you have to be to want to see what the game is willing to offer... to a point of post irony, eventually, when you click to proceed through all of the warnings, you're just shown a picture of a cute dog... with the game calling you a sick freak. On the other hand, if you actually did say that you're squeamish, then the game would flash some straight up unimagieable real world gore for a second or two before saying "Then why are you playing this?" Sure its edgy, and certainly not appropriate for todays sensitive climate, but I find that theres something so raw and classic about that kind of stuff... the stuff you have to go out looking for yourself, rather than just being able to watch a youtube video of... "Sad Satan" is a prime example of this.
Watching vin play jape games is always such a treat It takes him 10 minutes to realize something's up, but when he does you get a banger like "Euclid geting BTFO'd yet again" every time
Man the first time I got into the backrooms, I actually found the exit right away, after like 30 seconds. I wanted to explore them more and turned around, but then I never found the exit door again and I've been in there for like an hour in total. I really don't know how I found it the first time, I was just wandering around randomly
It's difficult to find when you want to look for it, but when you know the path to it you can get to it very easy, its a single portal door (its kind of a hard room to find but its got 6 doorways, and a corner light is blinking)
I haven’t read all of “House of Leaves”, but I know for certain that the book begins with a family named the Navidsons moving into a house with a non-Euclidean corridor. The sold sign said Navidson, so I’m guessing the mod make has read said book
I'm watching this after watching Power Pak's video and man, it is trippy knowing what I know now. Also when he killed that dog, I didn't expect Cerebus to die too, but that makes sense now in retrospect. It just makes the whole thing more chilling, and I agree, "I did not enjoy that." This game is definitely another level of art.
1:10:34 IS SO FUCKING FUNNY i can't get over how he realizes it's shrek and says "...Shrek!" st the realization and then upon discovering he's in danger screams "SHREK!!" AS HE PUNCHES HIS LIGHTS OUT

This is like one of those nightmares that makes you wake up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night but you dont remember what it was about so you dont know why it woke you up.
I have dreams like this from time to time. It always catches me off guard because a lot of my dreams are like this and perfectly fine without being a nightmare. Every once in a while something scares the shit out of me in these dreams and I can't remember what happened in the dream and I can't shake the feeling something is after me for hours after I wake up. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
These are literally my dreams
@@SonnoMaku This is not a joke: get checked for sleep apnea. This used to happen to me with some regularity. Doctor said I have amongst the worst cases of sleep apnea he has seen. And it hasn't happened to me once since i got my CPAP.
The abandoned hospital segment was precisely that for me
I get dreams of nothingness sometimes where I burst awake at the dead of night and have an inexplicable urge to leave the house and go somewhere. No, not somewhere, just away from where I am as fast as possible. It isn't even an avoidable or shakable feeling, I literally need to get up, leave the house I'm at and go about a block away before I realize what I'm doing. I have to tell myself that I need to go back, that what I'm doing isn't right. I've had it so bad one time that I ran downstairs, threw on a bathrobe over just shorts, ran out into a blizzard and foot of snow over to another building. After making it over there, I just stood in shocked silence for who knows how long before repeating the trek in reverse to my house. I have no idea what it is that makes me do it, but it may have something to do with me being sensitive to spirits. I always have been. It runs in my family. I even have a Guardian. She watches over me, always. She's not always visible and she doesn't make herself known, but when she is and does, it's usually her trying to communicate some silent message of warning to me. These dire feelings of imminent dread urging me to vacate wherever I am may come from her warning me of spiritual danger nearby. That's how I've translated it, at least. Thank you, Guardian. I know I'm not supposed to tell people about you, but I felt it necessary for this comment, on this video's comment section, considering the context.
This is all very technically impressive. The sheer amount of secrets and level of open-endedness is astounding. This is one of the greatest Doom mods.

there's also the multiple floors on top of each other, something that isn't physically possible with doom's engine. that alone is worth some mad respect but it's barely even a footnote next to the genius of the plot progression
44:22 "Navidson Realty" Oh, of course the whole thing is more or less an extended House of Leaves reference.
In the lore journal the uploader wrote that was included with the wad, every time the word house is used it's colored blue
@@clanofclams2720 Classic
man the more i learn abt this wad the better it gets
Reading the wiki of this map is mind boggling and explains a lot of the weird shit happening like the looping and Discord notification
I get that there's like a readme describing a ghost possessing the level in clasic creepypasta fashion but i think the way the level unravels is also just a cool metaphor for memories blending together and becoming hazier with the passage of time
It's less "a ghost possessed this level" and more "a guy made this level to channel his grief for his dead husband, somehow unaware that he is also dead"
It's also much more like house of leaves than any sort of "generic creepypasta"
@Kaptain Raptor i mean there's two house of leaves references in the game
The memory thing is what I thought it was in the first place lol
@Ab-•gail yeah i also got that before i knew about the read me

Instead of everything becoming bloody and completely demonic like usual, he'd have to use the game's internal logic for his plans, like he surrendered himself to this world by entering the game.

when vinny turned around to be greeted with the sign that says the home was sold, i felt my heart drop into my stomach
I can only assume that this feeling you had was because of a memory that was triggered by that moment in the stream. You wanna talk about it bro?
why did your heart drop into your stomach? it was just a sign
You okay?
It made mine drop because Navidson Realty is probably a House of Leaves reference. House of Leaves, in a very basic summary, is about a house that basically has its own dimension that changes in size a lot.
The entire WAD is a House of Leaves reference, it's also not even actually a tribute to a dead friend like it says.
Imagine if this got submitted to Joel's one level doom competition from some years back.
My neurons started activating when non euclidean geometry is associated with the name Thomas. Vinny's first ending around 45:00 just about confirmed my suspicions that the wad was, to an extent, inspired by House of Leaves. The name Navidson on the real estate sign must be a nod to the book. The main character of the book (rather, the creator of the documentary that exists within the book's universe) is Will Navidson. He just so happens to have a younger brother named Tom. I will be spoiling the book here, so if you haven't read it yet, this is both a warning and a sign to borrow it from your local library or purchase it to read at your leisure. Close to the end of the book Tom dies attempting to flee the shape shifting structure. If memory serves right (it very well couldn't, I haven't touched the book in a few years) the house caves in on itself and leaves nothing but a vacant property. Mirroring that of Vinny's ending.
All in all, good stuff, props to the WAD maker.
There are more references to the book, in the Journal, the word "house" is highlighted in blue just like the book
the main character is called Will Navidson?
@@valleybiitch you are right. I was writing in such a manic and sleep deprived state I forgot the name of a central character. I will edit the original comment to reflect this correction.

Seeing the house get burned, then old and decrepit, then get demolished and the lot sold was really saddening… i can’t help but think that it is meant to represent the inevitability that everything you find stability in will eventually only be a memory.
This wad really hit me in the feels. My childhood home was demolitioned and sold. Nothing remains of it except a few images. I... miss it. This wad really made me think about my childhood. And how things felt at the time. How excited I was for the future and my friends. I don't keep in touch with any of them anymore. I don't know where any of them are. Sometimes I miss the old days. But I always try to remember that eventually, these days will be old days too. So enjoy them as best you can. That way you'll have happy memories.
@@trslim6032 it also is important to remember that you will make new happy memories in the future. Life goes on. It’s all about how you decide to walk forward; you can try and be excited for what’s around the corner or just let life beat you.
this is why architectural preservation of the 60s-90s stuff is important too
@@circleinforthecube5170 my house was built in the 1890s. It was an old house. We actually found old newspapers and letters from the twenties in the walls. We put years of work into that house. Seeing it wrecked tore me up. My mom was heartbroken by it. I just wish I could have been in it one last time. As an adult so I could capture those memories.
Absolutely agree. It’s like when you visit an older relative that managed to stay sharp for years to the point that their house is still as cozy as it was in your childhood and then watching things start to get let go once their health starts to deteriorate. I know it’s oddly specific but, it’s something I went through and the mod reminded me of it.
for someone who grew up with shareware doom this was absolutely captivating. is this a genre now? nostalgia in the 34th dimension?
Me too, shareware Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein 3D, never got the full versions.
Oh if you look into the world of Doom mods, you'll probably get more gameplay content than many games combined. Some of it as unique as this.
I love 44:13 so much. The long pause between “it” and “is gone” perfectly encapsulates how that moment feels
Interesting note: in one of the endings you get a QR code that links you to the obituary of the guy who created this map in the paper right beside Tom's obit, saying that Steven and Tom died around the same time and were (most likely) lovers who will be having a joint funeral. This wad was uploaded by a gost.
I don't know about anyone else but I'm spooked solid.
spooky
Probably a ghost, I feel like it's darker; Steve and Tom are dead for a full month before the mod even begins development, so neither of them can actually be involved with this map, and there's hints of an unknown 3rd person peppered at a few points in the map (the most telling one imo is the flashlight in the reverse gas station, the one that lays where the crashed car used to be; mirror worlds car isn't crashed, its parked by the station so whoever drove it had no reason to be in the forest, the flashlight belongs to someone else); Something someone else on the forum noticed is that in the picture frame of Tom and Steve, in the files, the picture looks particularly wrong on second glance after seeing their images in the obituaries, it's because the profile shots from those obituaries are reversed in the picture and colorized, it's a fake picture that someone put there for some reason
Well, in the journal attached to the .wad (.pk3) file there were mentions of a loved one who Veddge (Steven) wishes to get back together with, plus it's not "S+T" in the game, it's "S+A", Steven and someone unnamed.
The bad, gravestone ending is probably symbolises deathwish, while the good ending symbolises moving on and pursuing happines with that unnamed person.
Well really guys this was made/created by a ghost...OOoOoOoO

This was the first vod in a long time that i just sat and watched no breaks, without it being on the side monitor. I am not a doom player, so if I was captivated I cannot imagine the reactions of those who love the game and are map creators themselves. damn. this was so good.
Just read the thread for this WAD on Doomworld to see everyone's reactions. Pretty much everyone in the thread was mindblown by this. I've seen a ton of respected mappers and members of the Doom community call this one of the greatest WADs of all time. Hard to believe this is the first ever release by the author, and that he hadn't even logged on to Doomworld since 2006 before starting to talk about making this.
@@tjg121389 A lot of speculation about who it might be. I get BPRD vibes (among many others), but the guy moved on from Doom maps more than fifteen years ago, and I don't think he'd do all the expanded media stuff. Probably several people anyway - and whoever they are, it's kind of pointless to guess. They'll come out or they won't, and that'll be that. Aside from this map definitely getting a Cacoward in December, which... well, I haven't seen a shoe-in *this* hard before.
The account it was actually posted on is almost certainly an old burner considering a lot of the forum messages are in-character to the WAD itself, but if this is legitimately someone's first map they're a savant.
The moment the doors open like doors, the moment the gun animations gain more frames, the moments when the original soundtrack start to change... Yeah.
This wad is giving mad House of Leaves vibes and I'm here for it.
EDIT: Okay I made this comment when I was only about 20 mins in. Now I'm at 44:22 and there's no way that's not a House of Leave reference. What the fuck, man I love this.
The journal bundled in the ZIP file has, among other things, the word "house" always displayed in blue text.

@@ipaqmaster out of all the horror games I’ve played, the bathroom demon jump scare was one of the most scariest experiences I have had in YEARS. Literally because you look in the mirror and see blood knowing something bad will happen, then you look back and see blood outside, further foreshadowing that the “problem” is coming, and then the entrance is gone, and in that one moment you have no choice but to just sit there waiting what’s going to happen.
going in blind to this was amazing.

7. the doom reloading animations are smoother

I cannot sing this mod's praises enough, because even if you don't read the description or the extra materials or anything, even if you get the empty lot ending and miss half the game, you're still getting one of the most emotionally effective pieces of art made in this engine. Also I did manage to find everything in this game on my own EXCEPT for the hospital and the BFG. I cannot possibly tell you how I figured out the beach, it kinda happened by accident
i knew from the moment we stepped in that this wouldn't be your average map... the craftsmanship looked far too good for something supposedly made more than a decade ago by a couple of teenagers. what an amazing set of twists and turns, too. the music slowly warping and glitching until it completely loses touch entirely with reality... such a skilled mapmaker and musician!

Oh, this is VERY explicitly the Doom edition of House of Leaves. Besides the other references people have mentioned, the journal that comes with the map download always highlights the word house in blue.
I'd love to see more games and mods inspired by books TBH, there's lots of untapped potential.
Finally, we have The Holloway Tape
i can't believe his passive caused him to skip the flooded basement
The only downside is this had to be done with a ton of backseatting but yeah, this is one of the best Doom maps ever, just pure art
The term is 'walk-in basement'. Often they're built into slopes, so there;s literally a "first floor" entrance with the main first floor of a house, and then a "basement" that, around the back or side of the house, walks out to a lower level of a slope. I live in such a house, which in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana etc would be unimaginable.
I really enjoy the idea of such houses. I still vividly remember the neighbor's house from 25+ years ago which sort of had that, with the garage at basement level...
This house is similar to that, only there's no direct walk up to a front door around the garage. Grandpa, your house plans weren't always the greatest... fetching 15º plus driveway while in a snow heavy state what were you thinking hmrbgrbl...

I think its suposed to represent the passage of time. The ps1 also becomes an xbox in that house. I also think that the brutalist apartment might represent a jump in time as well, since I think a lot of millennials can relate to having their childhoods in warm spacious homes and their adulthood in more souless/utilitarian apartment buildings.

@@dudestep yeah i definitely think so, its hard for me to relate to that for that reason as i grew up during the housing market crash... I still think the wad is really cool though, I especially love how the music starts off. I just wish it didn't rip so much off of liminal spaces/the backrooms, and instead took a far more disturbing psychological route... I had the idea of making a game where randomly, a warning essentially pops up saying "Are you squeamish?"... and if you press "No" then you are given like five more warnings explaining in detail what you might end up seeing, stressing in extreme detail how absolutely certain you have to be to want to see what the game is willing to offer... to a point of post irony, eventually, when you click to proceed through all of the warnings, you're just shown a picture of a cute dog... with the game calling you a sick freak. On the other hand, if you actually did say that you're squeamish, then the game would flash some straight up unimagieable real world gore for a second or two before saying "Then why are you playing this?"
Sure its edgy, and certainly not appropriate for todays sensitive climate, but I find that theres something so raw and classic about that kind of stuff... the stuff you have to go out looking for yourself, rather than just being able to watch a youtube video of... "Sad Satan" is a prime example of this.
