Cramunhão: A Sigil Tribute is a 10-map PWAD made by BrDOOM community for various source ports, replacing the fourth episode of The Ultimate Doom.

Overview[edit]

It started out as a single maps contest emulating the mechanics of SIGIL, but ended up evolving into a full episode community project. It has contributions from well known mappers such as Daniel Lemos (NeoDoom, Final NeoDoom) and Tomás "Deadwing" Soares (Ozonia, Moonblood), as well as newcomers like Hugo Scabello (Sca), who has made his first map ever for this mod.

The mappers were told to make use of SIGIL's mechanics such as shooting or reaching evil eyes to open level progression, or use skull rocks as teleport markers, but they were free to express their own style in the maps. So expect references to Romero's SIGIL here and there, but also very unique experiences along the episode. If you have played the map Anhangá, for example, this is the mod that map was made for.

The mod was made trying to be compatible with as many source ports as possible. It was tested in PrBoom+, DSDA-Doom, ZDoom, GZDoom, QZDoom, LZDoom, Odamex, Zandronum, Q-Zandronum, DelphiDoom, Doom Retro, Boom 2.02, Eternity Engine, and ZDaemon. The YouTuber LadyMistDragon also recorded a sample of the mod using Nugget Doom. It is also doable in PrBoom or Crispy Doom, but some aesthetic features (just like different skies and a couple of Boom's cosmetic commands) will be lost. It is also in Doom + Doom II's mod deck.

The maps have all been made pistol start compatible, and players are encouraged to do it, if they so desire. Also, there is support for co-op gameplay and skill settings.

Story[edit]

Intermission screen for Cramunhão

The darkest hour has fallen. Highly regarded as the oldest commanding officer of the Union Aerospace Corporation's private armed force on Mars, Waldemar Barbosa was one of the selected few who was sent from Mars to Phobos to investigate the strange transmissions received since the disappearance of the Deimos moon. Upon his arrival on the remote space station, it was Waldemar's decision to enter the facility with his most trusted elite squad; leaving only one lone marine behind waiting outside by the hangar. A decision that doomed the entire battalion within minutes. They were all presumed dead. However, the hands of fate were not so easily merciful: Waldemar survived. Cramunhão—one of the banished Dark Lords of the Saci Circle; the Father of Cuca and Caipora, has chosen Waldemar to be his personal harbinger for the demonic invasion. But Waldemar refused to give in to the Eldritch One's offer. Now, trapped within lands beyond the shores of Hell, the first ever Brazilian Space Marine has to fight with all his strength and resilience to survive this desolated realm. The fate of the world resides within him. It will be either him... or Cramunhão.
