Live Through Doom is a survival mod for Doom that turns the game into a brutal fight for survival. Scarce resources, bleeding, darkness, crafting, random loot, and dangerous enemies force you to play carefully. You are no longer Doomguy, but an ordinary person simply trying to survive.

Live Through Doom (LiTDOOM) is aimed at fans of Hideous Destructor and other hardcore survival mods, shifting the focus from power fantasy to survival and horror.

Here you play as an ordinary person who has to conserve ammunition, treat wounds, and carefully monitor their surroundings. The character has stamina, bleeding, poisoning, and injuries, and healing is accompanied by detailed animations. Dark levels, limited light sources, and frightening ambient sounds create an atmosphere close to Doom 3.

Gameplay revolves around resource management and decision-making. Ammunition is scarce, weapons have recoil and each is designed for specific situations, and enemies have become more dangerous: some have armor, weak points, and rare variations. Loot and monsters are partially randomized, so each playthrough differs, but balance is maintained — you won't find a BFG where it doesn't belong.

The mod includes an advanced survival system: bleeding, poison, wear and tear and fuel for melee weapons, lighting management, new types of armor with modules, sacrificial altars, supply crates, and a reward system for full level completion. There is a full-fledged crafting system with an animated station and a large set of craftable items.

Live Through Doom offers numerous difficulty settings and character classes, allowing you to turn the game into either a harsh survival horror or a more familiar, yet still tense Doom. This is a difficult, sometimes merciless and unfair mod, but it's precisely what turns familiar maps into a real fight for survival.

Recommended Mods

  • SEPULCHER-BLACK — a Doom-style music pack for Doom 1 and 2, combined with various disturbing sounds to enhance the atmosphere

  • Dark Ambient Music — dark ambient music for all levels, loading screens, and main menu for Ultimate Doom, Doom 2: Hell on Earth, Final Doom: TNT - Evilution, and Final Doom: Plutonia Experiment

  • PSX soundtrack — atmospheric soundtrack from the Playstation versions (Doom and Final Doom)

  • Doom Ambient Pack — gloomy background music

  • IMMERSE — a lean feature that greatly helps with room clearing

Most graphical, texture, and other visual modifications and addons are fully compatible with this, unlike maps.

When playing Live Through Doom, it is recommended to use custom maps, for example, most screenshots use the Darkstar map.. Also suitable for the mod are maps such as:

You need to carefully choose maps, as most are too difficult for LiTDOOM.

How to install a mod Live Through DOOM (LiTDOOM)

To run the mod, you will need the GZDoom engine and doom.wad, doom2.wad, or one of the FreeDoom IWADs

  1. Make sure that doom.wad / doom2.wad or freedoom1.wad / freedoom2.wad is located in the GZDoom folder

  2. Move the mod's .pk3 file to the GZDoom folder

  3. Drag and drop the .pk3 file onto gzdoom.exe

  4. Play!

You can also create a Launcher.bat. This is useful for launching more complex mod builds where the loading order of mods is important, or to launch the game via a shortcut.

How to create a launcher for running mods based on GZDoom

Create a text file in the GZDoom folder, you can name it Launcher. The text can look like this, depending on which files you're using:

gzdoom.exe -iwad freedoom2.wad -file "brutalv22test4.pk3"

-iwad must always be first, and the number of files after -file can be unlimited, just write them in quotes separated by spaces, like this:

gzdoom.exe -iwad doom2.wad -file "addon1.pk3" "addon2.pk3" "addon3.pk3" "addon4.pk3"

Change its format from .txt to .bat by simply renaming it. Now you can launch your builds with a double-click on this launcher.
