I thought this story was okay, I like it a little more than I think I ought to. And although It didn't do anything phenomenal for me, I am a bit of a mark for old fashioned DOOM. So I may be a bit biased ;)

I liked the descriptions of the levels, and was able to relate to some of the changed mentioned as I have played a couple Mods/WADs. I was willing to look past the weird download link that no one really knew about since, as can be said about all gaming pastas, the game has to come from somewhere.

For the most part, this story was standard haunted video game fare, with some of the clichés (or staples) that are usually seen. That's okay sometimes, and I wouldn't say it was poorly done here. The tale kind of lost me when "Tim" showed up. I'm not sure how or why this man appeared at the right time and place to tell this total stranger the story of his father, and the strange DOOM mod. I got the impression that the DOOM45 game was made quite a while ago, yet no one online seemed to know about it, and it was recently uploaded. Maybe I missed something.

If the story had the narrator find out the backstory of DOOM45 in a different way, or had him meet Tim in a more realistic fashion, It would have worked better for me personally. As for the gore that people seem to dislike, I didn't mind it. It didn't really feel out of place for a DOOM pasta, and although I wasn't scared by it, I'm not sure that was the intention.
