Doom 3 utilizes the id Tech 4 game engine, which has since been licensed out to other developers, and later released under the GNU General Public License in November 2011. The player character, an anonymous space marine, must fight through the base and find a way to stop the demons attacking Mars. However, the teleportation experiments inadvertently open a gateway to Hell, resulting in a catastrophic invasion by demons. Doom 3 is set in 2145 on Mars, where a military-industrial conglomerate has set up a scientific research facility to research into fields such as teleportation, biological research and advanced weapons design.
