How to play
These steps describe the LibreQuake campaign running in the linked FTEQW browser build, not the commercial Quake data files.
- 1
Open the LibreQuake player and wait for the WebAssembly engine and game data to finish loading. Click inside the game view when prompted so the browser can capture your mouse.
- 2
Start the single-player campaign from the in-game menu. Each level is an enclosed combat map: explore its rooms, survive enemy encounters, and locate the route to the exit.
- 3
Move with WASD and aim with the mouse. Left click fires and Space jumps. Keep moving during fights—the campaign uses fast projectiles and close-range enemies rather than cover-based combat.
- 4
Pick up health, armor, ammunition, and weapons as you explore. Number keys 1–8 select available weapons; a weapon cannot be used when its required ammunition is empty.
- 5
Look for doors, floor buttons, wall switches, lifts, and teleporters when the route appears blocked. Colored keys open their matching locked doors and let you continue through the level.
- 6
Press P to open the FTEQW game menu. Press Esc when you need to release the captured mouse, and click the game view again before resuming keyboard-and-mouse play.
