Project Goals

As a huge theatre nerd, I had the silly urge to combine the classic musical by Andrew Lloyd webber, The Phantom of the Opera, with the iconic game Quake.

Challenges: Conveying some semblance of a story through environment and without any cutscenes so that lovers of the musical would subtly appreciate the level. I also wanted to challenge veterans of the game with combat not explored in the original.
