Sold Soul

Sold Soul is a nine level episode replacement WAD for Heretic and GZDoom created by Fryuko. Work started in 2020 with levels being published one by one, before finally coming out on September 10, 2021. It contains five custom enemies and a weapon along with new decorations through DECORATE. It was named as one of the runners up at the 2021 Cacowards.

New monsters
There are five new monsters in Sold Soul including the final boss. The "Follower of D'sparil" is weak magic using enemy with fast projectiles, encountered on most levels. The "Chaos Wyvern" is simliar to the death wyvern from Hexen and appears sparingly. It uses heavy hitting projectiles and a flamethrower attack once it gets closer to the player. The Chaos Serpent is identical in appearance to the one found in Hexen. Gameplay-wise it functions as a Mancubus. The Death Knight is a difficult miniboss that can reflect the player's attacks like a Centaur. It only appears a couple of times, but killing it is almost always necesarry to progress.

Trivia
Sold Soul was influenced by The Wayfarer.
