About the game
Freedoom is a first-person shooter in the fast, 1990s style: maze-like bases, keycards, hidden doors, a growing arsenal and far too many monsters. You run, strafe, find the exit and try to stay alive long enough to reach the next level.
It is also a remarkable piece of community work. Since 2001, volunteers have been building a complete game (every level, texture, sprite, sound and piece of music) so that the classic engines released as free software would have free content to run. Everything in it was made by the project's contributors and released under a licence that lets anyone share it.
The game comes in two parts. Phase 1 has four episodes of nine levels each, played one episode at a time. Phase 2 is a single campaign of 32 levels with a bigger arsenal and tougher monsters.
Playing it here
Click Play now, then choose Phase 1 or Phase 2. The game you pick downloads once (about 10 MB) and starts on the title screen: press Esc for the menu and choose New Game.
The engine is Chocolate Doom 3.1.1, built for the browser without any changes to its code. Music and sound effects play as soon as the game starts. Your saved games and settings stay in this browser, and each phase keeps its own saves.
On a Mac, Ctrl with the arrow keys may switch desktops instead of firing. Fire with the mouse instead: click inside the game first.

A few things worth knowing
Look for the exit switch. Every level ends at an exit, usually a switch on a wall or a special doorway. Colored doors need the matching keycard, so a locked door means the key is somewhere you have not been yet.
The automap is your friend. Tab shows everything you have seen so far. Unexplored corridors and doors you skipped are where the keys and secrets are.
Walls can hide rooms. A texture that looks a little different, or a corridor that seems to lead nowhere, often opens with Space.
Save often. F2 saves in one of six slots. It costs nothing, and it saves a long walk back.
Too dark? F11 cycles the brightness.
