Description : Nile-istic is a Boom-compatible eight-level wad I
made for Doom II, with a prominent Egyptian theme.
The levels progressively become larger, and the
themes go from caves and ruins, to a massive garden
city and an underground foundry. This wad also
contains Doomcute!
STORY:
An ancient oasis city is hidden somewhere
in Egypt, and it has been described as absolute
paradise. Immaculately clean water is said to flow
through every corner, and is complimented by the
city's glistening architecture and lush landscapes.
The city is believed to contain enormous pyramids
full of priceless goodies! You must scour the
desert in hopes of finding this alleged city. Don't
forget to bring some sunscreen, and maybe a canteen
or two!
MAP01 - Descension
You have found the cave that is on your old
torn-up map. After jumping into the cave, your
journey begins!
MAP02 - Scarab Nest
The ground has cracked beneath your feet,
and you have fallen into a cave full of scarab
beetles! Find a way out!
MAP03 - Bandit Camp
The scarab-infested cave was terrifying,
but you have escaped with just a few bites. Perhaps
you should have brought some bug spray too! You
emerge from the cave to find a small camp full of
bandits, who appear to be looking for the same
thing as you. You should see if they have found
anything interesting...
MAP04 - Ancient Ruins
You have found a wall hidden inside the dig
site, which has led you to some secret ruins hidden
underground. You likely are the first person to
have entered this place in centuries. You are
feeling very dehydrated, and your canteen is empty!
At least you are out of the sunlight!
MAP05 - Sunken Temple
After exiting the old ruins, you notice
some water springs scattered around. Finally, some
water! You were on the verge of passing out! You
dip your whole face into the water spring and wash
all the sweat, dirt and blood off your face. You
exit the cave, and realize that wherever you are
isn't on your map. It doesn't seem like anybody has
been here in a very long time. There's plenty of
trees and foliage, suggesting this place is
untouched.
MAP06 - Oasis City
You hop on a small boat, and row it outside
of the cave. Your eyes are blinded by the
reflection of the sun coming off the water. There
is nothing but endless sea in the distance. This
has to be it. After rowing for 2 hours, you
eventually see something glowing on the horizon.
You continue to row as hard as you can in its
direction. Eventually, you realize it is the hidden
oasis city you heard all about! You dock your
canoe, rest your arms for a bit, then begin to
explore the city. You notice that there is
something special about the water in this city. It
is very shiny and sparkling, and feels like heaven
when you drink it. You better hurry up before your
sunscreen wares off!
STORY SCREEN:
You let your eyes rest after being dazzled
by the shimmering brightness of the city. After
taking a drink from your canteen, you feel your
nerves cool down all over your body, as the purity
of the city water rejuvenates you. There is a room
up ahead. As you enter the next room, you are met
with gold. So much gold, you can't even see the
floor! Joy fills you, knowing that you will be rich
forever, right?
MAP07 - Clandestine Foundry
The floor of the treasure room has
collapsed, but thankfully you filled your sack with
the treasure just in time. A path has opened below.
You discover an ancient foundry, which is likely
where the city water is purified. The high
temperature of the foundry is unbearable, even
worse than outside! Not to mention, the heavy sack
of treasure you have to carry until you can find a
way out of here.
MAP08 - Immortal Coil
You are beyond exhausted after navigating
the steaming hot foundry. A dark hallway is up
ahead. As you continue your journey, you start to
feel strange. Almost as if someone or something
powerful is watching you. You have one final
challenge up ahead...
