Description             : Breathless is a large, Boom compatible slaughter
                          map for Doom 2. The theme is deep blues punctuated
                          with cyan and is heavily inspired by Swim with the
                          Whales, both in aesthetics and difficulty. The wad
                          is inspired by a lot of things visually though,
                          from Metroid Prime's Phazon Mines to Sunder. I
                          wanted to make each individual area fairly unique,
                          so despite it being one large map and all within
                          the same colour palette, the areas hopefully still
                          feel varied. 
                          
                          The map has a slaughter 'design philosophy' and is
                          based around a lot of large set-piece fights, with
                          some smaller encounters here and there. It is
                          designed to be hard on Ultra Violence -consider it
                          close to SWTW map 3 for reference- and is balanced
                          mainly for this mode. HMP and HNTR are both
                          implemented with the former tested a decent amount
                          (not as rigorously as UV) and the latter given some
                          quick runs. Hurt Me Plenty is fun to play and I can
                          Max it fairly consistently without too much
                          trouble; I would suggest playing on this difficulty
                          first, as UV is punishing. Don't say you weren't
                          warned :D
                          
                          The wad has a lot of secrets, so look around if you
                          want to max it!
