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 call this a Wolfenstein 3D-style shooter that feels unfinished. The mouse sensitivity is broken on default settings, levels are maze-like with no minimap, enemies suddenly appear and do unavoidable damage, and ammo runs thin even early on. Some who grew up with the originals appreciate the nostalgia, but most say it is too frustrating to enjoy.
