It really is serverless. The full state is passed back and forth on each tick.

I was wondering about that. The DOOM savegame is not a perfect representation of the game state: A major one: Monsters forget who they were targetting after a reload.

I can't play it right now but assume some consequences are: Monsters forget about you after you turn around a corner. Probably no monster infighting. Probably the revenant fireball can't home in on you either.

There was also some rounding error where things on the edge of a ledge drop down after a reload.

Oh well, it's a fun tech demo
