Description             : 'Immortal' is a vanilla-flavored three-piece DII
                          construe fashioned within strict limits.
                          
                          Befalls in an alt timeline, where, upon doomguy's
                          arrival on Dis -to put an end to all hellish
                          matters- things, however, takes a different turn.
                          For not a bout is about to happen but a summon -
                          right onto the bowels of the Spiderdemon's domains.
                          Realms these that're overseen by relentless,
                          undying Hell Knights. That's it... end of story!(?)
                          Go ahead dauntlessly! Make rapid progres!
                          
                          Features; lots of DHE subterfuges, rather
                          amateurish custom textures, fiercely biased set-ups
                          and a few other idiosyncrasies.
                          
                          Balanced for skill 4 w/ pistol-start(ing) in mind.
                          On lesser difficulties not a thing changes except
                          for a switcheroo between the plasma gun and its
                          9000 counterpart.
                          
                          Also, take notice that, perhaps, due to years of
                          rusting (or just very poor taste) some switches
                          don't seem to react on press. If such happens, try
                          shooting instead.

                          /overall gimmick was inspired by a now delisted

                          on a modifier where one (or a team) must survive a
                          given wave dealing with an indestructible minotaur
