Timeline-wise, I’m pretty sure Spear of Destiny is supposed to be a prequel. I guess you could call it an extra episode, but it was sold as a standalone product. It’s not like the weird arrangement of 3 or 6 episodes for Wolf3D which all still launched from the same executable.
There were two “mission packs” released for it, which I guess you could call episodes as well. They have all-new textures and sprites (worse looking in my opinion), and were made by an outside team with little input from Id.
These were also standalone, but I’m not sure if they were sold individually.
I don’t think they could have made all of this more confusing if they had tried.
