About the Game

THE JOB

Inspired by the mechanics of the original DOOM. Madeline isn’t here to save the world. She’s here to rob it. Deep beneath the city’s rotting projects lies a legendary vault, sealed since the collapse. Madeline broke in expecting rust and dust. Instead, she found a nightmare. The complex is alive, infested by "The Recalled" a legion of dolls and toys driven by built-in AI capabilities gone wrong.

GROUNDED COMBAT

No Jumping. No Lifts. No Escape. Forget platforming. You can’t bunny-hop away from danger. Across these 5 hand-crafted levels, your only defense is gunplay, pure speed and positioning.

THE DESCENT

Fight your way through a seamless descent into madness. Every environment is designed to test your reflexes and navigation skills as you push deeper into the facility.

THE LEGION

They bleed blood, and they definitely break. You will face a variety of AI-corrupted enemies that are ready to kill you at all times. From swarming melee dolls to heavy monstrosities, every room is a fight for survival against things that shouldn't move.

STEAL EVERYTHING

The complex is hiding more than just monsters.

  • The Goods: Scour the levels for unique high-value loot and treasures to boost your score.

  • The Secrets: Hunt down hidden weapons and power-ups.
