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-styled shooter that feels like a punishing, demon-infested romp through hellish dimensions with relentless combat and a heavy metal soundtrack.

About

Created by id Software co-founder, John Romero, and released as an episode-sized mod consisting of 18 new maps, Sigil fits in between the timelines of Doom (1993) and Doom II. Baphomet, the gatekeeper of Hell, “glitched the final teleporter with his hidden sigil, whose eldritch power brings you to even darker shores of Hell. You fight through this stygian pocket of evil to confront the ultimate harbingers of Satan, then finally return to become Earth’s savior.” A remastered version made in the KEX Engine, community-published mod support, original midi soundtrack or the modern IDKFA version by Andrew Hulshult, improved performance with multithreaded rendering, BOOM source compatibility, accessibility options and translated into eight new languages.
