Arcadia Demade is a single level for Doom II created by Jean-Paul LeBreton. It uses the music track "Arcadia, Arcadia Demade" created for it by John Weekley (PRIMEVAL). It consists of a reinterpretation of the Arcadia and Farmer's Market sections of BioShock, on which LeBreton was the primary designer. It is not a partial or total conversion: the level is not BioShock-themed and contains no modified resources other than a modified, blue-tinted palette, a new sky texture, and the custom music track. Instead, the aim was to adapt the general layout, theme, and atmosphere from a modern game into the much more constrained feature set of the old Doom engine.

Arcadia Demade received one of the 2010 Cacowards, and was featured in Doomworld's Top 100 Most Memorable Maps, placing 57th.

Secrets

  1. Open the first two doors at the start and go around the marble structure to a closed door. If you look at the right torch, there is a button, which can be shot to open the door. Inside is a chaingun and some ammo. (sector 91)
  2. Once you have a red key, from the area you found them in, open the door in the southwest to find a teleporter, which takes you to a secret room with a backpack and an energy cell pack. You can open this door from the area where Secret #7 is as well. (sector 166)
  3. After approaching the blue bars where the exit is, some rubble in certain places is removed. From the bars, go up the stairs to the east and go southeast past two doors to a room with some trees. This area comes before a hall with yellow bars. In this room, use the wooden bean in the southwest corner as a lift up, then go to the northwest for what looks like a door but is actually a lift. Ride this up and claim the soul sphere here. (sector 559)
  4. North of where the red keys are located, shoot the barrel and open the wall for a secret passage. (sector 607)
  5. Near the northeasternmost room with the metal structures, you can open a marble wall with vines on it to retrieve a super shotgun and a soul sphere (the soul sphere does not appear on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower). (sector 1014)
  6. Go north of where the blue key is, and in the place where the chainsaw is, open the wall behind it for a teleporter, which is a shortcut back to where the blue bars are. (sector 1097)
  7. In the lower reaches of the map where a red door is located, go to the northeast corner of this area and press on the wall to lower it. This reveals a passage to the chaingunners. (sector 1339)
  8. Near Secret #7, go off the bridge north and to the door behind the trees. Just east of there, the wall lowers. Wait for it to lower and then take the lift up. The next door you open is the secret. (sector 1346)
  9. Along the eastern part of the map north of the grass courtyard are two storage rooms. Enter the one on the right and climb the crates up to get health bonuses and a megaarmor. (sector 1559)
  10. Open the door behind the trees near Secret #7 and go right to a small area with crates. Climb these crates and open the wooden door here to find the chainsaw. (sector 1792)
