The Mucus Empire is a two-level PWAD for Doom II and Boom-compatible source ports. It was designed by Nefelibeta and the main level uses the music track "The Mucus Flow" by Bernard De Windt (B.P.R.D). The par time defined in the DEHACKED lump is 20:00. It also includes a small exit level, MAP02: The End/Fin.

This slaughter map was initially released on January 30, 2021 with the final release appearing on June 28 of that year, and it earned Nefelibeta a mention as one of the most promising newcomers at the 2021 Cacowards.

Walkthrough

Map of The Mucus Empire

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. Head all the way to the west side of the train. Outside, go south and you will find stimpacks and shotgun shells. (sector 2306)
2. In the blue key area, get to the middle and shoot the pentagram on the south wall. This lowers the northwest and northeast platforms in the area, which have boxes of shotgun shells, a soul sphere (not on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower), a backpack, and a medikit. (sector 1954)
3. Open the blue door and press the switch in the next room. In the east hall, open the wall between the east pentagrams to find a large lift leading up to stimpacks, a box of shotgun shells, a box of rockets, an energy cell pack, a megaarmor, and a medikit. (sector 3308)
