      "description": "Big 'n Dark is a small, single-map Doom II PWAD featuring a central dark hub room with multiple teleporters leading to various areas. The gameplay focuses on straightforward single-player combat without new graphics, sounds, or music. Resources and monster variety are limited, emphasizing exploration around a single transport hub with key-like access mechanics. The design is compact and light, with no significant complexity or extended secrets, suitable for classic Doom II vanilla-compatible play.",

It\n                          centers around a central room that is very dark,\n                          and has various rooms leading off it that will\n                          lower the transporters in the center to allow\n                          access to other rooms. I've been working on this\n                          one on and off for 3 months now, and have frankly\n                          grown weary of it :-). It is finished, but does\n                          not have many extraneous \"things\" in it. Feel\n                          free to add to it, and change it (but give me\n                          some credit for the grunt work :-))\nAdditional Credits to   : Ben Morris for DCK, and the 14 year old who wrote\n                          \"Wadauthor Text Generator\", a small .exe that\n                          generates this wad Author's file.
