Doom: The Gallery Experience is here!

Do you like Doom? Do you like wine? Do you like art? If you answered yes to all three, then you are in for an absolute treat.

A new mod titled Doom: The Gallery Experience offers players a sophisticated twist on the classic 1993 Doom game. Developed by Filippo Meozzi and Liam Stone, this mod transforms the traditional demon-slaying adventure into a cultured gallery visit, complete with wine and cheese.

In this reimagined version, players navigate a renovated E1M1 level, now designed as an art gallery. Instead of collecting weapons and ammunition, attendees gather hors d’oeuvres and beverages while appreciating various artworks. Interacting with exhibits provides detailed information sourced from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, enhancing the educational aspect of the experience.

The mod is available for download or can be played directly in the browser via Itch.io. This creative adaptation showcases the versatility of the Doom engine and the ingenuity of its fan community, offering a unique blend of classic gaming and high culture.
