Duke Smoochem 3D, also known as Duke Smoochem, is a video game mod for Duke Nukem 3D, created by Dan Douglas.[1] The mod, described by Douglas as an "interactive shitpost", is set in the United Kingdom,[2] and features numerous internet memes and elements of British subculture.[3][4][5][6]

The mod began development after Douglas attempted to recreate Matt Hancock's office in the Build Engine, after a scandal involving Hancock caused his resignation from government.[7] Douglas then expanded to creating a high street, before adding more politicians, representing events such as Boris Johnson's resignation.[8] Other events satirised include Keir Starmer's role in the debate over the euthanisation of Geronimo the alpaca, the resignation of Conservative MP Neil Parish, and Piggate. Featured locations include a Greggs, a Wetherspoons, The Great British Bake Off tent and the Marble Arch Mound, the latter of which can be demolished in-game.[9][10] [11]

The mod features original music by Lee Jackson, who composed music for Duke Nukem 3D.[12][13]
