Download
Three versions of Freedoom are available to download:
- Complete IWAD
- Complete independent Doom game.
- "Demo" WAD
- Cut-down version of Freedoom with a smaller download size. The demo WAD contains the same complement of resources found in the original "shareware" version of Doom.
- FreeDM
- FreeDM is a project whose goal is to create some high-quality deathmatch levels. It uses resources from the rest of the freedoom project to create a stand-alone deathmatch IWAD.
Freedoom is not yet complete. As a result, some material is currently missing. For example, sounds may not play or graphics will be missing. If you can, please consider contributing to the project.

A modern source port is needed to play Freedoom. We recommend one of the following ports:
