Demon Eclipse

Demon Eclipse is a Doom II mod for GZDoom currently being worked on by Eriance. The mod is intended to be a retelling of the original Doom experience through the eyes of another Marine.

Storyline
Just a few months ago, you were a proud sergeant within the military. Your life took a turn for the worst when your convoy ran over a mine and you ended up in the hospital, barely alive. But you’re tough, you made it through and recovered eventually. However, when you went back, they told you were no longer fit enough to be in command.

Thanks to your pass accomplishments, the military decided to cut you some slack. They referred you to the UAC, a global corporation that is the leader in technology research and current runs the show on Mars. The UAC is known to have a contract with the military and supplies them with the latest prototype weapons; some of which you've used before. They recently constructed a series of facilities on the outskirts of the desert to "cut down on research costs". Who knows why they built the thing.

You landed yourself a job as a security guard. Driving around the UAC compound 50 times was an usual days worth of work. You were bored out of your mind and felt that you life has ended at the age of 30. Then the incident happened and your life was once again changed forever.

From out of nowhere, a distress call came from Mars, where the UAC was doing it's most shadowy research - Something about demons invading through portals and all sorts of mumble-jumble. Mars was apparently under attack by an unknown force and the UAC wasn't ready to lose the red planet for anything. They gathered up a group of the toughest marines and decided to take the place back from who- or whatever. It was also an opportune time to test out their new gateway system that linked the two planets.

Just as the gateways connected, and the marines were about to go through, a Giant Spider-Like creature stepped through. It ripped the marines and scientists in front of him apart with his two massive auto-cannons while causing massive destruction from what looks to be a BFG 9000. A horde of strange creatures followed him through the gate and reeked terror on the unsuspecting marines. The creatures quickly took over the gateway control facility and fanned out to the nearby compounds quickly. Many were slain only to have their corpses somehow reanimated.

You were on your 10th loop around the UAC compound when you got radio distress calls for back up. You did what you knew how to do best - kick ass. You fought you way through to the command station to see what was going on.

News of the incident reached out fast and the UAC compound was locked down within a matter of hours. All roads to and from the site was shut off and anyone trying to go in or out was shot on site. When you made it to the command station, you learned of the gateway and what beasts running through it. You didn't know what to make of it. Then you heard from the military about the quarantine policy and it involved nukes.

You didn't survive the mine just to be killed by military's own nukes now. The only way out was through that gateway. You don’t know where it would take you, or if you were even survive long enough to get to it. But anything is better than being turned into radioactive vapor. You gather all the ammunition you could find and prepared for the fight of your life...
