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 frantic, arcade-style shooter with absurd weaponry and cartoonish violence, moving at breakneck speed.

What players say

Players are split on this classic remaster: some love its insane traps and dungeon-like levels, while others find the key-hunting and hit-scan enemies exhausting. Many note it pushes the Wolfenstein engine to its limits, but the repetitive design and lack of co-op hold it back.
