MyHouse.pk3 initially seems innocuous enough, but this Doom mod absolutely blew us away.

Unzip and put everything in the same directory, then drag and drop. Make sure you’re playing in OpenGL or Vulkan mode , or some of the effects might break.Ammo is scarce. The garage has a brown crate containing a chainsaw.Still too hard? The lowest difficulty halves damage and doubles ammo.Promise you’ll come back and read the rest of this when you’re done?So, you’ve probably realized by now that the original post on Doomworld was a lie in the best possible way.

Seamlessly and silently, the house is rebuilt with newer technology and repopulated with meaner monsters that you can see through the windows from outside. Even your weapon sprites are more smoothly animated now. You return, find the keys, go to leave and the front door isTrapped, you search for a way out, discovering new rooms in impossible places, some of which disappear as soon as you’ve left them. Just as your options start running out, you hear an electrical sparking sound.

If you stopped playing there , you’ve seen maybe a third of what MyHouse has to offer. The hint to keep exploring is in the sign you find outside the crumbling, ruined house. Navidson Realty, referencing the labyrinthian, otherworldly Navidson estate from Mark Z. Danielewski’s. A novel famous for its final pages being far from the end of the story, with more threads being found in its annotations, notes and hallucinatory typography.

Those who play through the mostly-unchanged Underhalls will find themselves back at the house again, but this time carrying the super shotgun from the regular game. Trapped in a loop, and repeating your steps just leads you back around again. There’s no escape, and turning to the no clipping cheat to break out of bounds is punished by exiling you to, an endlessly looping maze dimension where you’ll be stalked and hunted until you die or find an exit back to the house.

It’s all technological smoke and mirrors, but this mod does a chillingly good impression of seeming genuinely haunted and never-ending.
