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.

How it feels

A visceral, fast-paced retro shooter that throws you into chaotic jungle firefights and tense ambushes, capturing the raw survival pressure of Vietnam warfare.

What players say

Players describe NAM as a punishing build-engine shooter where cheap deaths from hidden mines and snipers are constant, making frequent saves mandatory. The M16 is the only reliable weapon and enemies hide in bushes or shadows. Fans of the era say it captures war's tension, but many players find the controls awkward and the pixel-hunting frustration too high.
