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 classic boomer shooter that feels fast and frantic as you blast through Egyptian ruins and tombs filled with alien horrors.

What players say

Players praise the PC version as a solid Build Engine FPS distinct from its console Metroidvania counterpart, but recommend using source ports like Raze or BuildGDX to avoid crashes and bugs. The level design is a highlight, while weapons and enemy variety draw criticism, and opinions split on whether the game is too easy or unfairly hard.
