Urbnbeta is a single-level PWAD for Doom that was released in 1994. It was designed by Frederick J. Bradley with Robert Bradley & Ryan Louie, and uses the MIDI rendition of "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factory as its music track. It was originally released as dethe1m1 and intended to be part of a full episode WAD, but no other levels materialised.

Secrets[edit]
- In the north-east is a building with a chainsaw. Pressing the northernmost part of the eastern wall inside this building lowers a platform with a rocket launcher. (sector 200)
- In the centre is a room with two switches which close various doors. There is a metal section of wall in the western part of this room - opening it reveals two medikits on a lift - press the eastern wall by this lift to lower it. (sector 212)
- From #2 head south and east through secret doors to reach a computer area map. (sector 210)
- The switch by the computer area map (see #3) lowers the wall, allowing access back to normal territory. This wall can also be lowered by pressing the southern side of the arch to the south-west. (sector 204)
- From #4, head south then west through the arch and north through a door to reach a room with a shotgun and 8 shotgun shells. Pressing the wall immediately west of the door in this room lowers a wall which reveals a switch which re-opens the doors closed by the switches in the central room. Note that this sector is too narrow for credit to be obtained. (sector 207)
- #4's room has a fireplace to the south which can be walked through, where there is a rocket launcher. (sector 177)
- The room east of #6's room has a blood-covered bed which it is possible to jump onto from the west. Pressing the western part of the wall here lowers a lift to the east, allowing access to a BFG9000. (sector 176)
- From #7's room, head north then east and climb up onto the south-western platform. Pressing a section of the western wall here lowers a nearby lift, allowing access to a backpack, two boxes of bullets, and a box of shotgun shells (not on easy skill). (sector 71)
- The room to the north of #8's room has an arch leading east with curved sides. Pressing the north side reveals an armor to the south-west. (sector 127)
- Pressing the northern part of the east wall of #9's room opens up a door next to #9 with a plasma rifle. (sector 168)
- North of the exit is a bathroom. West of the sink is a secret door to the west leading to the dark room with the crates. After going through the door, turn left and press the eastern wall - a switch is revealed to the south. (sector 173)
- Pressing the switch accessed via #11 lowers a platform with a berserk. (sector 144)
- The path to the exit counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 203)
Bugs[edit]
Due to secret #5 (above) being too narrow, the maximum achievable secret percentage is 92%.
