Feeling like challenging myself a bit while proving a hypothesis. It seems that HDest has enough mechanics and feedback that playing it completely HUDless is possible, and so I tried running a short map with it to give the ol' try. Luckily, it seems that indeed it is possible! It's very much not the intended way to play, but it's still fascinating how much of it worked. The only concerns right now would probably be firemode stuff and if I'm carrying summoning talismans (or any insta use inventory stuff), since the former doesn't emit any sound when switching and the latter could get accidentally triggered since I have to [use inventory] constantly to check for the item that I do want. The rest of the mechanics from mag manager/item manager, how well you're aiming, how fast you reload the Hunter or any of the shotgun's sidesaddles, blood dripping from your person, etc, all of it works well together enough to make this run possible. I'll probably stick to HUD runs though, this is only but an experiment.

Anyways, regarding the map. Once again we've returned to the enormous library of maps that are the stuff in Vinesauce Joel/Vargskelethor's Doom Contest maps, and a very nice one too. A map set in the dark depths. I do have a bit of a fascination for underwater focused maps, from stuff like The Wreck to Spooktober's Deep Sea, so this is just right up my alley. Bit unfortunate that you got unlimited air capacity in the map, but I suppose it's done to keep the pace up in the underwater areas. Also, I might've cheesed the map a bit around the end there, but it's either that or I have to walk in front of a couple dozen Barons of Hell, and with HDest, that's just not happening, many pardons for that.
