      "description": "This WAD contains a single map inspired by M.C. Escher's art, focusing on unique, escherish design elements with new wall textures and some new sounds. The level is designed for fast play and supports 4-way deathmatch, emphasizing multiplayer fragging over complex monster encounters. The layout is kept simple to maintain good performance and quick gameplay, with a balanced resource placement including a plasma gun accessible outside high-pressure combat. The theme is surreal and artistic rather than traditional techbase or hell, with no new sprites or music. It is built from scratch for DOOM2 and compatible with standard DOOM2 engines.",
