MAP19: Natural is the nineteenth map of Kama Sutra. It was designed by Adolf Vojta and uses the E1M9 music from Heretic. The version of the music used in this level plays at a slower tempo for unknown reasons.

Inspiration and development[edit]

Adolf Vojta's comments on this level[1]:

Hmmm my own map I really don't like :) I don't know why. I just decided to use it because it has some gameplay ideas I haven't used in other maps and the design.. is also pretty different from the other ones.. so at the end it's maybe not so bad map.

Secrets[edit]

  1. The tunnel south of the starting area is tagged as a secret and is unavoidable. (sector 23)
  2. There is a teleporter near the red door (the closest one to the exit) that can take you to the pool of blood near the blue and yellow switches. After using the teleporter, turn around (face south) and press the wall behind you. You will find a megasphere. (sector 156) You can also climb near the secret by using the nearby stairs to quickly run from them.
