About the game

Freedoom is a project aimed to create free data replacements for the Doom and Doom II IWAD files, as Phase 1 and Phase 2, as well as a deathmatch map pack IWAD named FreeDM. Combined with the GPLed Doom Source (such as PrBoom or GZDoom), this makes a completely free (as in speech) game. The data is licensed under the Modified BSD License. Episode 4 of Phase 1 is the Cacoward winning Double Impact which was donated by its creators. The project is aiming for a more direct science fiction setting to differentiate it from Doom.

A few forks exists, namely Satanic Infestation, which strives to maintain a hellish theme, GZFreePunk, which utilizes GZDoom specific features, and the custom Lotan's Tomb. The game previously required a Boom-compatible source port, but has subsequently been made compatible with vanilla Doom.
