A.L.T. is a 32-level megawad for limit-removing compatible source ports, released in 2012 by Clan B0S. It features new textures, new sound effects, a custom soundtrack, and notably a different death animation for the revenant, as well as spectre variants of the zombieman, sergeant and imp. The plot follows the protagonist as he journeys into a strange and hostile world after surviving a plane crash.

A.L.T. was initially a personal project developed by Michailo Kolybenko (Azamael).[1][2] He later donated the project to Clan [B0S] and they began to work on it together. However, Azamael left mid-production, leaving Lainos and BeeWen to spearhead the finishing of A.L.T.. The two called for contributions from the Russian Doom community, and did heavy uncredited edit work to many levels.[1][3] The finishing stage was troubled, with an incident involving the original MAP17 and MAP18 contributing to the eventual dissolution of the clan.[1] A.L.T. was finally released on May 2, 2012, and its final version uploaded to the idgames archive on May 6 of that year.

The megawad received mixed reviews upon release, many criticizing the sound effects and cryptic level design while praising the unique atmosphere. In the following years, A.L.T. has developed a following, with praise directed at the megawad's surreal tone and treatment of narrative. In 2018, it was featured in the Top 25 Missed Cacowards.
