You don't need to ditch current creating conventions or come up with a totally unique style to pull off making a exceptional level, sometimes its better to skip reinventing the wheel and just add on to other peoples ideas. This level is a perfect example to taking inspiration from other levels at the time and adding on to it in ways that elevate it from being just another level of its time to being a masterclass design and atmosphere.

You can pause and see influence from all sorts of other levels of its time such as acidcore (hinds, vlacc, old loogiah style, etc.) levels, majacko core levels and other more generic 2019 glow design levels but the way it recontextualises it into a dark claustrophobic nightmare with dark coloring, violent flickering pulses and structuring that forces the player through gameplay that feels more like squeezing your way through a hazardous abandoned facility rather than a level designed for you to play is nothing short of genius.

Obviously this isn't without its faults, sometimes the levels leans too heavily into its 2019 roots with parts like the first bit of the drop wave which is very visibly dated (I still fw the negative colouring it was going for, gives the drop a lot more impact) and the odd claustrophobic gameplay seems to have made it awful to play according to some players I know but despite that I still think it's a generational level.

I wish there was someone smarter than me to explain why this is surprisingly good. I wouldn't exactly call it MaJackO core style but it's also not the same core that we were seeing circa 2019. The decoration is both unique but also quite forgettable, I just don't get it.
