Well, this would probably have to come out as a (something of a) floor generator of a pseudo-second floor, and if should have any sense, it needs to be well connected to the ground floor.
I like this concept, I like it a lot. On the other hand, really, I would not like to be the one to develop it.

Sylph:
How about this ventilation-system level being a 'secret exit' from one of the standard levels, that actually SKIPS content (so, it takes you from, say, hell's arena to phobos 6 (equivalent)), but features:

- zero monsters
- a real-life time limit
- a horrendously claustrophobic maze (like the old doomrl maze levels, when they were 1 tile wide)
- potential rewards equalling levels skipped (though it would be impractical to find them all), so in this example a chainsaw and a few modpacks...
- angel of darkness-style lack of map history

Or something to that effect.
The idea is, a ventilation level that a player can use to skip content, but is extremely high-risk. There was a level similar to this in 'alien breed' (an amazing old amiga game) that featured dramatic music and alarms and the like, and was a really memorable part of the experience for most players, despite (or perhaps because of) it's total lack of aliens to fight... I'll find a youtube link...

Sylph:


Somewhat like this level. Very atmospheric when the lights go out.

Extra good if you increase claustrophobia with no memory-mapping (think angel of darkness).

Thiebs:
So this is more of a throw-away idea, maybe like an easter egg or something, but I was 'discussing' eugenics today with a couple of guys at work, and it occurred to me that certain almost-unanimously evil figures (Stalin, Hitler, etc.) could be found within hell. It seems like a big bad boss that's been led up to for several levels turning out to be some short dude with half a moustache would be rather underwhelming, but it'd be fun to occasionally take aim at a former, only to have it be Hitler or some such. Then, BOOM goes the shotty: instant gratification.

(This also assumes that the 'Hell' in question is the traditional one, not a hellish alien planet or some such thing...)

Trar:
I second the inclusion of Hitler and Stalin in DOOMRL.
