Strange Aeons is a Doomnote requires The Ultimate Doom version of the first game and the GZDoom sourceport (though Doom II has been reported to work too) Cthulhu Mythos-themed total-conversion mod developed by Mike MacDee (AKA Impie)note (who would also go on to develop the Dynamite Duchess trilogy), and initially released in 2015.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You are the Traveler, an archeologist working for the Miskatonic University of Arkham. The Traveler lost his son David, and it turned out his work gave him information about exploring the Dreamlands. After several bad dreams, the Traveller ended convinced his child was alive but trapped in the Dreamlands...While it replaces a few weapons (the pistol becomes a magic scepter with unlimited ammo, the chaingun becomes an AK-47, the Plasma Gun becomes a Ythian weapon, and a crossbow has been added to the arsenal), adds a few new power-ups, and adds new monsters, Strange Aeons keeps the Vanilla Doom gameplay. It also uses custom music, replacing the Metal soundtrack by atmospheric tracks to fit the new theme and ambiance.The mod counts five episodes (each episodes consists in nine levels) split in two distinct story arcs. The first four episodes ("The Shattered City", "The Stagnant Fortress", "The Land That Time Forgot", and "The Plateau of Leng") tell a single continuous storynote the initial release of Strange Aeons only contained the first three episodes, "The Plateau of Leng" was added a month later, and the fifth ("Out of the Aeons") is a sequel released one year later, telling a new story set years later about the Traveler trying to save his nephew from the Dreamlands.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })More information can be found on Impie's website and the mod's page on the Doom Wiki.

All There in the Manual: The plot and backstory are explained in a pdf bundled with the mod's files (the story advances through narration displayed at each episode's completion, but there's no ingame narrative introduction for the start of both story arcs).

Bag of Spilling
 Strange Aeons (Video Game) / int_28104b90
comment
Bag of Spilling: Like Vanilla Doom, you lose all your arsenal and ammo supply between episodes. While the first four episodes count as a single story arcnote the hiatus between episodes being either the time needed to travel or to be healed, the Bag of Spilling is actually justified between "The Plateau of Leng" and "Out of the Aeons", since the Traveler eventually goes back to Earth at completion of the fourth episode, and several years passed between them.

Actionized Sequel: The fifth and final episode, Out of the Aeons, is much less scarce about ammo, and actively requires you to fight certain enemies to proceed.

Adaptation Amalgamation: The mod is mostly based on The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and The Call of Cthulhu, but also includes elements from other mythos works (for instance, "The Plateau of Leng" features a At the Mountains of Madness-themed Easter Egg).
