Requiem

Requiem is a 1997 megawad that contains 32 new levels. The project was moderated by Chris Thornton. Several of the designers who worked on this project previously worked on Memento Mori and Memento Mori II. It is well-known for introducing various architectural tricks that continue to be used to this day, including faked 3D bridges. It is also one of the few PWADs that are allowed to be used in Compet-N speedruns.

Infopack
As with Memento Mori and Memento Mori II, Requiem has an "infopack" available separately from the main WAD. As with the other infopacks, it takes the form of a program; in this case, it is a 16-bit application. As a result, it will not run in 64-bit versions of Windows without emulation or the use of a virtual machine. It was created by Chris Thornton and Thomas Möller with the unregistered version of the Formula Graphics Multimedia System.

When the infopack is opened, thunder is heard and four clickable buttons will appear one at a time along the bottom of the screen: Requiem Info, Author Info, Credits, and Exit. This startup sequence, including sound effects, will repeat every time the main menu is accessed. Requiem Info provides information on all 32 levels, including screenshots. When the main menu appears, Mark Klem's "The Everlasting Negative", the music of, will begin playing. It will repeat every time the main menu is accessed.

Miscellaneous demos
The demo only goes up to MAP03, as Xit Vono believed attempting MAP04 after the first three maps would be very difficult.
