The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players describe MadSpace as a weird and ambitious 1996 Russian FPS that stands out for its dual-wielding system and non-euclidean geometry, but they also warn of a painfully long on-rails intro, confusing puzzles, and a finicky DOSBox port. Opinions are split on whether the jank is charming or frustrating.
