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 fast-paced retro shooter set in a historical war, blending run-and-gun action with supernatural elements and classic level design.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and Spanish Civil War setting, but are split on the movement. Some call it a polished Wolfenstein 3D clone with great level design, while others find the movement sluggish, guns weak-feeling, and levels too large to navigate. The game is buggy, with a notoriously bad final boss and common glitches like enemies freezing or getting stuck in geometry.
