# Quetoo
## Overview
[_Quetoo_](https://quetoo.org) ("Q2") is a free first person shooter for Mac, PC and Linux. Our goal is to bring the fun of oldschool deathmatch to a new generation of gamers. We're pwning nubz, one rail slug at a time.
## Features
* Deathmatch, Team DM, Capture the Flag, Instagib and Rocket Arena gameplay modes
* High quality remakes of id Software's legendary _Quake_ series deathmatch levels, as well as many originals
* Realtime lighting with soft shadowmapping
* Steep parallax occlusion mapping with self-shadowing
* Dramatically improved artwork pipeline with in-game editor for level artists
* TrenchBroom support
* 100% free to download, play and modify. Source code licensed under GPL v2, artwork under Creative Commons.
## Downloads
Snapshot releases of _Quetoo_ for all platforms are available on the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/jdolan/quetoo/releases) page. Download and extract the latest release for your platform. On first launch, _Quetoo_ will automatically download and install the game data.
### macOS
Because _Quetoo_ is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, macOS will block it on first launch. To allow it, right-click the application and select **Open**, then click **Open** again in the dialog that appears.
### Windows
Windows SmartScreen may block _Quetoo_ on first launch. Click **More info**, then **Run anyway** to proceed.
