The Vanilla Base (or Vanilla Base) is a vanilla-compatible single-level PWAD for Doom II created by LoneAlpha2401 in December 2021. Designed in the style of Thy Flesh Consumed and No Rest for the Living, it was conceived as an homage to the 28th anniversary of Doom. It uses the music track "Hiding the Secrets" by Robert Prince from Doom. The par time defined in the MAPINFO and DEHACKED lumps is 2:00.

Secrets[edit]
- On the central tower, get to the north side of it to get a megaarmor. (sector 12)
- At the left side, take the lift up and head south. At the edge of the ledge, look south and shoot the switch. Head back to the start and head west to shotgun shells. If you keep going here, you can get a soul sphere. (sector 57)
- Go to the lift east of the start and lower it. Open the east wall to get an ammo clip and a teleporter. The teleporter takes you to armor bonuses and a berserk pack. (sector 84)
- At the north end, go northwest, then quickly run back and northeast and west to a radiation suit. (sector 168)
- Entering Secret #4 will reveal a switch in the entrance area at the north end. Quickly run back and flip it, then head to the northeast end. Jump to the east side to get a BFG9000. (sector 211)
- In the computer maze at the east end, head to the easternmost side and find a skull switch at this end. This will lower a soul sphere inside the maze. (sector 253)
