It’s wonderful to hear that you’re looking forward to the new horror-RPG-FPS game using the Doom engine. Launched during 2023’s Realms Deep event, the game’s demo has already attracted a lot of interest from players. Divine Frequency is developing the game, which is based on the widely used source port GZDoom[1][2].
Why So much Buzz about This Game Divine Frequency
Because Divine Frequency used the Doom engine[5][6] and combined elements of horror, role-playing, and first-person shooter gameplay in a novel way, it generated a lot of talk among gamers.
The universe that the game’s creators, Good Karma and Hellforge Studios, have conjured up is twisted by supernatural powers, with flesh-eating monsters that defy natural law[5][6] and Euclidean geometry.
The hideous flesh-and-metal fusions, pulsating tumors decorated with razor-sharp appendages, and other visuals in the game, all rendered with the chunky appeal of the Doom engine, give the cosmic horror a familiar and terrifying feeling of bleak realism[5].
The sound design of the game is excellent, ranging from the ominous industrial clangor to the eerie whispering that seem to be coming from the walls themselves.
With equally excellent lighting, you are thrust into cramped hallways where shadows squirm with hidden creatures. With each step, the groans, drips, and creaks seem fraught with malice, making you doubt your sanity.

Imagine bizarre combinations of metal and flesh, throbbing tumors with jagged protuberances, and all of this portrayed with the distinctive chunky charm of the Doom engine.

Beyond Shotgun Blasts: Sanity and Souls
However, Divine Frequency is much more than just a creepy mashup. It incorporates RPG components that give the experience more nuance and interest. You’ll forage for supplies, develop your character, and make decisions that affect the story and your eventual outcome. Your protagonist here is frail, both mentally and physically, unlike Doom’s gung-ho Marine[3].
A person’s sanity is a valuable resource, and going too far into the unknown can cause lasting psychological damage. The ongoing struggle between self-preservation and exploration gives Divine Frequency an edge over its competitors in terms of strategic conflict[3].
