Yes, but with a dimensional portal to Hell opened on them. Or where do you suppose the demons come from.
Comment on there is a special place in hell for these scientists

A ‘digital rendition of Hell’… you even Doom bro?
Wasn’t the original Doom a digital representation of Mars and its moons: Phobos and Deimos?

But you’re the demons, John.

Yes, but IIRC they just happened to be the location of the hell portal that humans disturbed, and hell started leaking out. The depiction of Phobos and Deimos as hell-like was after the leakage. The third part of original Doom was back on Earth when the leakage had spread there, and it looked exactly like the hell of the Mars moons.
I wouldn’t bet money on that being exact, but that’s how I remember it.

Only the first episode of levels. The rest of them are literally in Hell.

…for the original doom, episode 1 (knee-deep in the dead) was set on phobos; episode 2 (on the shores of hell) was set on deimos hovering in the skies over hell; and episode 3 (inferno) was set down on the surface of hell itself…episode 4 (thy flesh consumed) was set back on earth after the invasion of hell, but it was an add-on released a couple years after the original game…

Aka why most people thought Doom 1 was so short.
