A single-player campaign of 7 levels (including a secret one), created by aDaya for Quake on the Copper base with new mechanics added. The events take place 6 years after Operation Counter Strike: you travel to an abandoned island in the Mediterranean Sea, where the secret research facility Damocles Facility is located. The latest reports speak of a mysterious anomaly at the island's summit, and you must find out what happened there.

The mod offers three new weapons, including a rapid-fire chaingun, a powerful railgun, and a modified shotgun with burst fire. Four new enemies have been added, among them armed infantry, a gladiator with a melee trigger, and a flying ghostly enemy. A unique power-up is also introduced — the Hourglass of Kronos, which slows down enemies.

Classic monsters and mechanics have been reworked: the behavior of the Enforcer, Death Knight, and Vore has been changed, new sounds, messages, a backpack system, and an additional difficulty mode — SUPER MONSTERS — have been added. Nightmare mode has been reworked in the spirit of Doom 3, with gradual health loss.

The maps stand out for their large scale, detailed design, and variety of situations, encouraging exploration and multiple playthroughs. However, due to the labyrinthine level structure, players may often get lost, and the balance sometimes raises questions.

Special attention is drawn to the final boss: visually impressive and ambitious, but its mechanics and difficulty create a sharp contrast with the rest of the game. Despite this, the mod remains a vivid and creative project with a strong atmosphere and interesting ideas.
