Hell Revealed

Hell Revealed is a 32-level megawad for Doom II. It is possibly the best known example of an ultra-hard WAD, and has received the most attention by speedrunners of any PWAD. Hell Revealed was created by Yonatan Donner and Haggay Niv and released in May 1997.

The custom soundtrack was compiled from songs of Rise of the Triad that were written by and Robert Prince. Levels 20-26, 28 and 30 reuse the music from Doom II.

The megawad has a sequel, Hell Revealed II, which was released in late 2003.

Story
The WAD's story is tongue-in-cheek and only five sentences long. The marine wakes up with a visible status bar along with a pistol and 50 bullets, put in an infested "jumpgate" lab by "two mad WAD creators." The marine must use the jumpgate, discover their mission, finish every level and "send a letter of complaint to the madmen who sent [them] here." Reading the rest of the story requires one to "send $500 to us" or "enter a nuthouse." The last sentence explains that "This is Doom, man - just go in there and kill!"
