It led to an image of a newspaper obituary: the mod author, I think

@@bishubi it lead to an image of a clipping showing that the "mod author" died the same exact day his friend did, as well as the exact same way, and the same exact place

​@@lordrwbyandnepwatcher1387 yep the mod was finished and uploaded by a ghost 👻

@@ShadowEclipse777 it's probably just an ARG, or in the highly unlikely event these events were real, it was probably a family member

​@@lordrwbyandnepwatcher1387I think it's metaphorical. Perhaps a representation of survivors guilt. He probably thinks it could have been, or should have been him.

You can't. This isn't Doom. This is GZDoom.

I don't think you have to even do anything special to see the overgrown house, it's the default bad end, whether you miss the plane or not. All you need to do is set the house on fire and finish the level.

@@DeepestLore Yeah, and if you didn't set the house on fire if you miss the plane it will be intact, it's insane

Probably not as secret as the Navidson Hallway

@@DeepestLore LOL WHAT? Not at all lmao the burned house has nothing to do with it, you gotta get the ending where you're on the beach at the very end, which you only get through the secret doorway in the fence in the yard.

@@jaymxu Huh? Overgrown house ruins are mutually exclusive with that ending as you can't reveal the hidden fence plank at all with your house burned (and subsequently overgrown). Are we talking about the same thing?

Just like Navidson, you'll find yourself in there sooner or later

I've played this map over and over and never found the Navidson maze. Desperate / terrified to explore it. Could you tell me how to find it?

@VeritySpott The closet in the small bedroom upstairs, after you picked up the blue key in the attic, has about a 1 in 11 chance to lead to the maze.

@@woodlandcollective what they said

oh i saw him once and it creeped me right out. at first i thought you would see him lots and i was like "nice texutre" then it vanishes and never came back which creeped me out the most

I've seen a few vids on this now, there's a really good one that's in 3 parts that a mapper disects and goes into detail. But i haven't seen what your referring too, Im going to investigate this next time I'm there. Edit, Davidxnewton is the mapper.

It's the big version

i know you can die anywhere, it's just a convenient place to do it since it warps you out of the maze when you come back. there really isn't much more to the closet maze than what i showed.

@@kizukaseru Alright then, thanks for the answer

@@xFluing if you want to know more about the closet maze, read House of Leaves. It heavily inspired the whole mod, but that hallway in particular

I ran around that maze a bit. It's confusing but all I found was some doors that close and reopen themselves after you open them. Then you can't use them again. Wierd

I think the maze is just supposed to unnerve you, what with how dark and quiet it is.

I have plyed the map over and over and can't find the house of leaves maze

​@@VeritySpottit might just be a rare event. I messed up finding all the items a few times but never saw it on any of my replays

it has already exceeded its monthly scan limit according to mine

I increased the gamma

On gzdoom I hit the show all options in options then had some brightness contrast and gammar sliders.

You gotta enable both Lights and Brightmaps at the same time.

No, the door to the room with the power box is shut in the mirror world under any circumstances.

imagine being able to create this map, but not able to make a qr code without a quota'd online service

Damn the QR code gave me full body chills and tears from my eyes when I checked it two weeks ago. I think its safe to say its impact is diminished by this issue.

that's really unfortunate, dang.

@@dudestep dang, can you tell the rest of us what it was?

@@keithk2920 I actually can't quite tell you because its very complex (this map is serious post-modern storytelling) and youtube doesn't let you put links in comments. But have you looked at the doomworld thread? The creator of the mod has a folder of supplemental material he posted with it in the first post, it includes the obituary for his friend that originally created the map. You should take a look at that, but you can skim/skip the journal if you want (it is more helpful for playing and deciphering stuff in the game). Then search the thread for the word "QR" and you'll see the link the code led to.

because in this playthrough i had already been on it. this is what happens if you go back to the airport again

random chance every time you open the door in the second house. just keep trying.

If you poke your head into the weird black and white room and then go straight back to the room with the closet, you should be able to access the maze. I've been able to consistently get it to show up that way

@@Kikiapina this worked for me too. The room with the milk shake.

you have to pull the sheet off of the mirror in the attic

No but someone fixed it on the forum the file was posted on

@@Bruhmomentos0979 Thanks. 😎🤘☮

anything in my video is from the game, unedited. if he had more sounds, then yeah he added them.

@@kizukaseru That kinda sucks. It already felt out of place for the game, sort of "forcibly scary" there, but I wish they hadn't done that

Turn on lightmaps and lights when you open GZdoom

The obituary of the mod creator saying he died the same day and in the same way as his friend. The map was finished and uploaded by his ghost

@@ShadowEclipse777 ty!

Veddge, who posted it on Doomworld www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134292-myhousewad/

@@kizukaseru yeah but if you play the map you find a QR code that shows that Veddge also passed away

Thanks for showcasing this - what a mysterious map :)

@@DavidXNewton thank you. Your videos are great on the topic.

​@@Amberlynn_Reid I did what googling I could, and I could not verify the legitimacy of the obituaries. There is a steven nelson in Oswego il, who is married to an Amanda nelson (S+A?) however there's no proof steven is dead and the center where they held a celebration of life cannot be found. Besides... How could steven had taken a picture of his own obituary?

it isn't my map, i don't have any control over it

@@kizukaseru hey they might be on to somthing. a mirror. maby the qr code is different in the mirror world if you can access it from there

A mirror. Heh.
