A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Devil’s Corp waits for your next move: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware.

Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. That long chain of experiments is part of why action games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
