The 1996 legend · reborn in first person
Stay awhile and listen.
Tristram · 1996
640 by 480. Two hundred and fifty-six colours. A town seen from far above, and your imagination filling every shadow.
Thirty years later
Tristram · 2026
Full 3D. First person. Every cobble, thatch and lantern of the town you grew up in, rebuilt around the interface you never forgot.
II · Then & now
Same frame. New world.
Line them up and the belt, the life and mana orbs, the Char and Spells buttons sit exactly where they did in 1996. Everything around them was rebuilt by hand, in three dimensions, at eye level.

III · The trailer
See it in motion
Captured in-engine. Tristram by lantern light, the Cathedral below, and the dead that wait there. Turn the sound up.
Night has fallen over Tristram. Lantern light spills from thatched windows. Griswold's hammer rings across the square, the old well waits beneath the moon, and the Cathedral stands silent on the hill. You remember this place. Now you walk its cobbles on your own two feet.
Then the guitar starts. You know the one.
IV · The town square
Home, by lantern light
Every building rebuilt in timber, thatch and stone, laid out from the original town map, tile for tile. Linger a while. It has been a long time.
Tile for tile
The roads, the river, the graveyard path. Laid out from the original map, so your feet still know the way.
Familiar souls
Every townsperson where you left them, speaking their original lines in their original voices.
An endless night
Stars over thatched roofs, mist on the grass, lantern light pooling in the puddles of the square.
That guitar
The original music and sound, drawn from your own copy of the game. Close your eyes and it is 1996 again.
V · The souls of Tristram
Everyone you remember
VI · Beneath the church
The Cathedral
King Leoric went mad.
His son Albrecht vanished beneath the church.
Archbishop Lazarus led the men of Tristram down after him. Few came back.
Now the bells are silent, and something waits below.
Every layout drawn by a port of the original level generator, so no two descents are the same.
VII · Choose your hero
Three paths into the dark
Original base and maximum stats, original starting gear. The same three heroes, now with steel in your own hands.
VIII · Bestiary
What waits below
Every monster keeps its original life, damage, to-hit chance and habits. Zombies shamble. The Fallen flee when a pack-mate dies, then rally with a war cry. Hold your torch to them, if you dare.
IX · Grimoire
Fire and lightning
Read spells from books and scrolls or draw them from charged staves. Mana costs and book levels come straight from the game's spell table. Go on. Click a page to cast.

Help us reach Diablo
Diablo 3D is a fan project, made by players who never stopped going back to Tristram. The demo is the first floor. Fifteen more lie between the Cathedral and the Lord of Terror, and we are building every one of them.
Our vow: we will not stop until the game is whole. Every level, every quest, every demon, until you stand in the depths of Hell and Diablo falls by your hand.
The road to Hell
1 of 16 levels builtWhat your gold forges
Fifteen more levels
The rest of the Cathedral, then the Catacombs, the Caves and Hell itself, laid out by the original level generator.
The full armoury
Every blade, bow, staff and shield. Every prefix and suffix, and every unique worth dying for.
Every demon
Goatmen and skeleton archers, succubi and balrogs, and the horrors that guard each floor.
Every quest
The Butcher, King Leoric, the Chamber of Bone, Archbishop Lazarus, and the last door of all.
