MAJOR MODS, ANALYZED

MYHOUSE.WAD

This Doom II mod is the game of the year. By Wes Fenlon 
This mod takes you places you’d never expect.

I was just young and naïve enough when The Blair Witch Project came out to be suckered in by the premise that it was real—that someone had found this real-life footage after the fact, or that it was just a movie but one based on real events. Even now when you Google it, the first ‘people also ask’ result is: was Blair Witch based on a true story?

After 20 years of horror movies aping that gimmick, the Google doc that accompanies Doom II mod MyHouse. wad doesn’t really have a chance of tricking anyone into thinking it’s a true story about a modder trying to finish their dead friend’s project and slowly descending into madness. But it doesn’t have to.

Myhouse is freaky enough all on its own that it kept me on edge for hours, shifting under my feet so seamlessly that I still ended up questioning what was real by the time I ‘finished’ it—at which point I’d actually only seen a fraction of what this endlessly messed up mod was waiting to spring on me.
