Hall of Tortured Souls is a small game with Doom-like graphics hidden within Excel 95, where you walk around a mysterious building that has developer credits scrolling down the walls.
Unused Code#
Floor Texture Mapper#
The renderer contains some unfinished code that is meant to draw floor textures. The function to draw a column of floor pixels is located at 0x5040637 and is called by the renderer once, but its results are immediately drawn over. By patching bytes 0x503062F7 to 0x50306305 to NOP instructions, the result of the unfinished code can be seen beneath "portal"-type walls.
Easter Eggs#
- Typing XLKFA (not EXCELKFA as is commonly told) will open up the back wall, revealing a zig-zag maze leading to a secret room with pictures of the developers.
- Typing XLU2 will reveal a "Random Thoughts" section at the end of the scrolling credits texture containing additional hidden developer messages.
