== Technical information ==

== Inspiration and development ==
The entire map is a parody/tribute to {{wp|Garth Marenghi's Darkplace}}, a 2004 British TV comedy that lampoons low-budget 1980s TV drama, horror, sci-fi, and egotistical "visionary" authors. Many of the plot-points are based directly on the first three episodes of Darkplace, and several of the music tracks are [[MIDI]] covers of portions of Andrew Hewitt's score for the series.
