I was a huge Doom 2 fan way back and even made a few lame custom maps, nothing major though.
My daughter knows this and told me I needed to check out this mod. (We've played the recent Doom versions together).
Anyway, the less said the better. It was originally posted in the Doomworld mod forum... Just a subtle presentation without much fanfare.

Excited to finally release this tribute map. Last August I lost a good childhood friend of mine and took it pretty hard. When I was visiting my hometown for his funeral, I connected with his parents who shared with me some of his old belongings. Among them was a copy of an old map of his backed up on a 3.5” floppy from high school. Thomas and I were into amateur Doom mapping in the early 00s but I had never seen this map of his prior to uncovering it on one of the old floppy discs. As a way of paying tribute to him and all the great memories we had together, I took the plunge and installed Doom Builder in order to polish up his map and add a few modern amenities just for convenience sake.
Now... If you're like me these days. You don't have a ton of time to dump into getting all this running. I'm more of a pick up and play when I can these day. So I watched a walkthru video on it.
Honestly, the less said the better. Best experienced with zero knowledge going in. Whether you watch the video (or other youtube players) or decided to play it yourself, which I would highly recommend if you're a fan of Doom, especially Doom 2.
As best said by a few of the posters in the Doomworld Thread above.
Not Jabba - Holy shit.
Jaws in Space - I played this on Sunday & I've got to say this is fantastic map. At first it seems like a typical My House WAD with a lot of Doom cute details, but it evolves into something so much more amazing.
Scuba Steve - What the fuck did I just play?
Here's the Walkthrough video in case you're not interested in playing. I know it's long, but well worth to see what a guy (or a team) can do with a 30 year old game engine
Also for fun... Read the thread posted above. It's fun to see the poster realizing this mod is so much more than how it was presented. Turned into a group effort to mutually discover everything possible.
The Mod is a tribute to the novel, House of Leaves, if you've heard of it. I hadn't before this I saw this mod.
