Description             : A somewhat difficult DOOM 2 map playable with
						  any limit-removing engine. This map was 
						  originally meant as a remake of MAP21 of Doom 2
						  ("Nirvana"), but soon became its own thing
						  entirely.  The original Sanskrit word "nirvana"
						  meant "extinguished", hence the level's name.
						  
						  This wad features a custom palette that I made
						  myself.  I think that it gives the level a more
						  grim and less cartoony vibe without being quite
						  as dim and dark as Sigvatr's PalPlus palette.
						  
						  A note regarding one feature of this level: If
						  you reach the exit, having slain every monster 
						  in your path, and yet the map screen shows that
						  100-150 monsters still roam the map, you have
						  not accessed all areas of this realm, and thus
						  you have not thwarted the Gatekeeper's attempt
						  to drive you insane.  Search harder.
                          
Story                   : (This level takes place directly after Doomguy
						  exits MAP20 of DOOM 2.)  You have arrived in
						  Hell, and as the only marine tough enough to
						  withstand and defeat the demonic onslaught, you
						  know what you must do: pass through this foul
						  illusion and destroy the Source of Evil once and
						  for all.  But the Gatekeeper has decided to use
						  a different approach against you.  This time
						  the diabolic deity is assaulting your mind as
						  well as your body, causing you to question your
						  own sanity.  As you struggle through this unholy
						  realm, in which Earth-like architecture and
						  infernal structures are cruelly wed, you begin to
						  experience the early stages of
						  artificially-induced dementia.  As your grip on
						  reality begins to loosen, you come to the
						  unnerving realization that in order to fully
						  conquer the demons within your own brain, you
						  must access all areas of this twisted nightmare
						  world and kill every creature that lurks within.
						  Can you survive this plane of Hell before you
						  lose your mind entirely?
