The game begins after the character has discovered that the experiment has opened a gate to a Parallel World loosely resembling the Christian Hell, and 'demons' (see Gods and Demons) have invaded our reality. The player character is a space marine who is sent to the Martian (see Mars) moon of Phobos to investigate after a Matter Transmission experiment by the Union Aerospace Corporation goes mysteriously wrong, causing communication to be lost and Mars's other moon, Deimos, to disappear altogether. The game's somewhat stereotypical story is essentially a frame narrative (see Interactive Narrative), and of minimal importance compared to the gameplay. Essentially, it is a well-designed action game that uses sf and demonic imagery as props to furnish its fictional world. Doom's violence is more cartoon-like than realistic its aesthetic shares much with industrial metal music and Horror films such as Sam Raimi's deliberately excessive Army of Darkness ( 1993).

Its combination of smooth and immersive graphics, rapid pace and casual hyperviolence proved extremely popular, and came to symbolize Videogames for many people who did not play them.
