Description             : In folklore, the witching hour is a time of night
                          that is associated with supernatural events,
                          whereby witches, demons and ghosts are thought to
                          appear and be at their most powerful...
                          
                          Witching Hour is a set of 8 maps (+1 unbeatable
                          finale map) for Doom 2 that will take you through
                          dark forests, rotting bogs, lost tombs and
                          forgotten temples. The maps aren't long and overall
                          it might take around an hour to beat. The
                          difficulty ranges from moderate to very hard,
                          though you won't need to be a Doom god. Difficulty
                          levels are supported and will reign in the
                          challenge significantly. 
                          
                          This set is my first time experimenting with custom
                          monsters. It features a couple old favorites and
                          one that is mostly new. 
                          
                     
                          
                          Important: Monster mods might not play nicely with
                          the dehacked monsters. Weapon mods will be fine.
                          
                          Pistol starts or continuous play is fine,
                          continuous will just be easier.
                          
                          Freelook is fine. Jumping is not.
