Deadline, a 3 map replacement for Doom (E1M1 - E1M3), made by Khorus in 2007.

It's a simple enough set of levels, making some decent challenge, with a few standout encounters. The prevalence of Pinkies makes me appreciate the Chainsaw a lot here, and Barons Of Hell are used fairly often, some might say to a tedious point, though I didn't think it was that bad.

It looks nice, nothing jawdropping in terms of visuals, no grand and extravagant linedef detail all over the place, but it uses the stock textures quite well and the levels all look appealing. Exploration is kinda so-so, the layouts are all pretty straightforward, progression is a little bit samey between levels (but it's only three, so it's not that noticeable), and there's not that many secrets to be found.

It's above average, a good 6 out of 10, there's nothing that's remarkable about the set, but nothing that seriously drags it down either. If you'd fancy a brief bit of Doom 1 fun, it's an alright choice.
