I wonder if it can play through MyHouse.wad. Which, if you haven't seen before, is an incredible art piece. [VIDEO] If you've read House of Leaves, do yourself a favor and check it out.

If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend checking out the story of MyHouse.wad: [VIDEO] If you want to go in spoiler free, I'd recommend downloading the WAD and playing it through blind. But if you don't have the time for that, there's a ton of great youtube videos that covered the topic.

If anyone's curious, start here: [VIDEO] If you don't care about Doom (or even video games, honestly): I haven't even thought about Doom in 20 years. Just click the link and watch. One of my favorite YouTube rides of all time.
