Description             : This megawad contains 32 puzzle/gimmick maps and
                          one stopper. Each level is built around a single
                          main idea. The maps are not connected in any way,
                          so if you find yourself stuck on a particular
                          one, feel free to skip it. Alcyone also has a
                          little optional overarching story.
