      "description": "The Ghoul's Forest 3 is a single-map PWAD designed for Doom II using GZDoom or ZDoom engines, featuring a large, complex Hexen-format level with over 29,000 linedefs and 6,400+ sectors. It emphasizes a horror-themed forest environment with heavy use of leaf and log textures, creating an immersive, eerie atmosphere. The gameplay is challenging, with a limited arsenal centered around a bow and arrow, demanding careful resource management and tactical combat against multiple ghoul bosses. The map progression is linear and exploration-heavy, supported by custom sounds, music, and decorated with advanced ACS scripting. This wad is not vanilla compatible and requires modern source ports for proper functionality.",
