Description             : Destroy demons in 31 action-packed levels;
                          Interception II is here.

                         Interception II is a Doom II community megawad spanning
                         three episodes with a secret level included. The levels
                         can get quite long, so check it out if you want a
                         megawad you can spend some time with.

                         After defeating Barbatos, you dive deep into
                         the demons' domain, an eldritch world where the rules
                         of our reality don't apply...

                         Shoot, blast, and double-punch your way through
                         otherworldly domains, abandoned space stations,
                         and the blood-soaked fields of Earth.


			  == THE STORY SO FAR ==
              Demons are invading Earth, and you are trapped in
              their dimension.

              After defeating Barbatos, you take the plunge into
              another world, hoping to destroy the very root of the
              invasion.

              You'll soon find, however, that the Realm of Souls
              does not tread lightly on the minds of the mortal...


			  == MAP LIST ==

              NOTE: Most maps have received some form of revision. This could be
              in response to feedback, to add additional detail, etc. We did our
              best to stay true to the vision of the map authors while doing so.
              All maps were edited with permission from their original authors.
