The Freedoom project aims to provide all the content needed to form a complete, entirely free/libre game for the Doom engine.
It is designed to be compatible with most custom levels, music, graphics and other modifications (“mods”) made for the original Doom games by Doom fans and artists over the decades.

## Where can I find more WADs?
None-official wads (mods) are all over the internet from old forums, github and various websites.
**Doomworld:**
The oldest DOOM community on the web and hosts of the annual [Cacowards](https://www.doomworld.com/cacowards).
