Definitely play it yourself first but here is a great breakdown of it and the themes: https://youtu.be/5wAo54DHDY0

House of Leaves is a hell of a drug. I'll be honest, I watched Power Pak's whole video straight through first time.
How does one download and play through this?
First, get the wad here: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134292-myhousewad/
Second, download GZDoom here: https://zdoom.org/downloads
Third, have an original copy of the doom2.wad file.
Grab both doom2.wad and myhouse.wad files and drop them onto gzdoom.exe. There was also some nice GUI frontends that help you out like ZDL or SSGL, but this is the most direct.
Happiness has to be fought for.
Also for anyone who hasn't played it yet, don't let yourself be spoiled, even by this wiki entry. It's quite the 10 minute map.
