Total Chaos, the full-fat remake of one of Doom's best mods, is a getting a demo 'very shortly'
Released in 2018,Total Chaos is regarded as one of the bestDoom mods ever made—a total conversion that transforms id Software's demon-blasting FPS into a grungy, low-fi horror adventure.

I felt tying the whole thing together would feel slow—you'd basically feel like you're not making much progress.»
