There is no official version for Mac. You would have to compile one yourself using it's source code.

Is this a difficult / complicated thing to do? 

I'm familiar with programming but I've never compiled a GitHub project or anything, that's always been beyond my knowledge

It's probably an interesting thing to try out.

I would start by installing Brew and using that to

brew install chocolate-doom

This will ensure that you have all the necessary development libraries installed to build crispy doom (which are the same as chocolate doom)

 

Then you would be in position to build crispy. The following steps should work

git clone https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom.git
cd crispy-doom
./autogen.sh
make -j8
make install
