Demo and full-game routes
The NetQuake homepage offers Episode 1 and a separate pak1.pak route for owners of Quake. The full game is not included merely because the engine opens in a tab.
Before starting
Open the original project and choose its single-player route. The checks below describe only the environment and actions actually observed; they do not verify other episodes, multiplayer or mobile support.
What this check covered
On October 14, 2026, a browser-driven check reached the Episode 1 map e1m1 in Chromium on Linux. Holding W moved the view, Escape opened and closed the menu, and a mouse click fired the weapon with ammunition decreasing from 25 to 24. No full-game data was supplied.
These observed controls are limited to that session. We did not test multiplayer, saves, other episodes, mobile devices or a gamepad. The test used software WebGL rendering and does not establish performance on your hardware.
Questions before you start
Does the free episode include the whole game?
No. The project distinguishes its first episode from the content requiring your own Quake data.
