Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Best HRTF effect at 5:28. Sorry about the filtering; it was for video playback, I swear.

This is Hell To Pay, the other unofficial Doom II add-on made by Wraith Corporation. Unlike Perdition's Gate, this MegaWAD feels like shovelware with its awful pre-rendered sprite replacements and amateur level design. If you stick around for the second half of Hell To Pay after the clever Self-Destruct map, you'll actually find a pretty decent set of levels for 1996 standards. Of these levels, I'm most fond of the "Planet Hell" map which is just adorable. I'm a huge fuckin' nerd for Doom PWADs that try to recreate realistic structures with blocky Doom geometry, and Planet Hell is an absolute goldmine for this.

It's weird, because Perdition's Gate started out amazing and gradually declined in quality up until the final "episode", but Hell To Pay has the exact opposite problem. Both Wraith add-ons have a weak spot with 4 tiny speedmaps accessed from a central "hub", though. Also, MAP22 is one of the most sadistic and cruel Doom maps I have ever played. I'm entirely convinced that it's impossible from a pistol start. Even when I played in order years ago, I had to keep savescumming from all the Archvile spam.

Oh, and did I mention that Hell To Pay has the single greatest Icon of Sin death of all time?
