The Story
Raven Software took Doom's engine and built a dark fantasy world on top of it — wizards instead of marines, gargoyles instead of demons, tomes of power instead of berserker packs. Heretic shipped the same year Doom II did and matched it in ambition: six episodes, an inventory system, a hub city. The shareware episode is legally free. Velocity bundles it because it's one of the best free first-person games ever made and almost nobody plays it anymore.
