Who knew Doomguy was so cultured? Doom: The Gallery Experience is a silly little recreation of Doom, but with wine and art instead of demons in hell. You can play it for free right on itch.io. Created by Filippo Meozzi and Liam Stone, Doom: The Gallery Experience is described as a parody of the "wonderfully pretentious world of gallery openings." And it's beautiful. Doomguy, donning glasses instead of a helmet, casually sips wine and contemplates a variety of art from different cultures and eras. You'll find some money laying around, used to purchase items in the gift shop, as well as hors d'oeuvres that'll fill up your cheese meter. (Essential!)
