The Bleeding Tower Of Pisa is a single-level WAD for Doom II, designed by Michael Reed and finished in November 1995, but it was uploaded to the /idgames archive in August 1997. It is a large level themed around a central tower. It makes heavy use of marble, wood and blood textures. Exploration and intense combat are main characteristics when playing.
