What are the steep angle arrows indicating? Too steep for an escalator/stairs, but not 90 degrees like an elevator would need to be. Anyone know?
This is beautiful. I went there 20 years ago and my mind was blown then how big it was but I really had no idea!
It is still the busiest train station in the world by far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_railway_statio...

Also, that map seems incomplete by at least a 3rd. The connection between it and Shinjuku-3-chome station is missing (the hallways just arbitrarily stop on that map) and the tunnels from there to the south entrance of Shinjuku station are missing as well as 3 more train platforms. I suppose you could argue that's a different station which is fine, but the fact that tunnels don't end where they appear to on this map is misleading.
looks like a doom level

But you could do it in Quake.
Now we just need an app that links your location in 3d space so you can finally easily navigate Shinjuku.
Instead, familiarize yourself with the general layout. There's no need to memorize the entire map, only the portion you will be using. Inside the station there are plenty of signs overhead and even on the floor to help navigate.
