Story                   : Hell's minions have overrun
                          the world. Citizens have banded
                          together into Militias to fight the
                          onslaught, but their every effort is
                          hampered by a human traitor called
                          the Rakehell. Your job is to hunt
                          down and kill every Rakehell. Only
                          Rakehells count toward your kill
                          total. They move fast and use
                          railguns, so watch your health and
                          know when to withdraw.

Base                    : New levels from scratch.
Editor(s) used          : WadAuthor, XWE, DeHackEd. 
Known Bugs              : Player's railgun does more damage
                          than Rakehell's (I had to reduce
                          the Rakehell's railgun damage to
                          make the game playable!). 
                          Rakehell drops bullets.
                          On map 3, 4th floor of building,
                          player can see bottom of sky in
                          two spots if he jumps. 
                          Map 3, sound anomolies in stairway,
                          especially 3rd floor.
                          Rakehell sometimes shoots floor.
