Caldera of Wretchedness is a single-level PWAD for Doom II and the PsyDoom source port that was designed by Darragh Coy (intacowetrust), who also composed the level's music track, "A Place Of No Hope". It was created to showcase some of the new features for PsyDoom, including expanded limits, Lua scripting support, enhanced colored lighting options, the addition of the arch-vile, and an iteration of the OTEX texture pack compatible with the source port. It was released on October 18, 2021, and was later given an honorable mention at the 2023 Cacowards.
