Overall rating:

Though this map has some atmosphere and isn't too bad overall, it has some things which reduce the fun.
It's a very cramped map, which is no problem for me. But it's also a very dark map with a house-like ambience. At first, while you're going through the first half, it's quite ok and nice. But the second half is a pitch-dark maze with not only weak monsters around the corners. This part is too long and a definite lowpoint of the map.
Another problem is the exit, that isn't marked as such. You're entering a room and suddenly it's all over.
