It is the 54th entry in the ongoing Doomer Boards Projects. Work on the project was carried out during November 2022. It was first released on Doomer Boards on December 3, 2022. The mapset has a Middle Eastern bathhouse and hammam theme.

Content

Custom monsters

Afrit

The afrit replaces Commander Keen and also retains the KEENDIE action which opens all doors tagged with an ID of 666 after every afrit in the map has died. The afrit attacks with a flurry of mancubus fireballs similar to its appearance in Scythe 2, though it does not fire revenant missiles. The afrit has the same 300 hit points as the revenant.

Breakable pot

The Wolfenstein SS has been replaced by breakable pots. These are not enemy monsters and do not count towards the final kill count. These pots have only one hit point and will drop a clip after they are broken.

Trivia

• The initial draft of the resource pack for the project was developed by Jon Vail (40oz), who approached matador about leading the project as he would be unavailable to do so that month.
• 40oz offered matador two potential resource packs to use for the project. The resource pack that was not used was for a cyberpunk city theme.
• MAP01: Get Your Feet Wet is a homage to MAP01: Dig of UAC Ultra and recreates several scenes and scenarios from that map, in addition to using the same music track.
• MAP06: Pain Anima was originally titled "Parasocial Love" and originally featured "Village at Night" by Tsuyoshi Sekito, from Brave Fencer Musashi, as its music track.
• The secret fight in MAP08: Fogcutter is an homage to a fight in MAP03: Omega-Minor of Dimensions, albeit much easier.
