Modder TheNewGenghisKhan has publicly released a beta version of Divine Frequency, a horror shooter built on the bones of Doom 2. Curious players can jump in now and start testing early segments of the game.
Divine Frequency drops players into a nightmarish setting where dreams bleed into waking reality. Players assume the role of an unnamed protagonist tasked with tracking down divine entities in order to push the boundaries of human perception. The beta showcases initial levels crafted to evoke a sense of claustrophobic dread, along with expansive zones that hide secrets and optional paths for those who poke around relentlessly.
The game draws significant inspiration from titles like System Shock and Blood, blending atmospheric horror with action-forward gameplay. It weaves in role-playing elements such as a dialogue system, non-playable characters with their own agendas, side missions, and a progression scheme for both the character and the arsenal. These mechanics encourage exploration, choice, and a sense of growing power as encounters intensify.
The beta is available for download here. Players curious about the game’s mood, pacing, and combat flow can expect a dark, immersive experience that values careful exploration and strategic play. The work-in-progress status means early feedback is welcomed, and testers will encounter rough edges and balance quirks typical of a beta from an independent creator.
Note: this project is shared as a fan-made development, inviting opinions and experimentation from the community. For readers seeking additional details, a traditional game news outlet noted the project as part of its evolving indie horror lineup, and any further updates will come through official community channels.
