The premise, in the publisher's words
Doom 3 is set on Mars in 2145, where a powerful corporation runs a research facility experimenting in areas such as teleportation, biological research, and advanced weapons, often outside legal and ethical limits. The player takes the role of a newly arrived space marine assigned to routine duties at the base. When a teleportation experiment loses containment, a gateway to Hell is torn open and the facility is overrun, transforming much of the personnel into hostile creatures.
