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 blistering, blood-soaked roguelike FPS that feels like a chaotic and punishing run through randomly assembled meat-grinder levels.

What players say

Players compare STRAFE to a roguelike version of Quake or Doom, but opinions are mixed. Some find it fun in short bursts despite dated graphics, while others criticize its unfinished feel, lack of health pickups, and the ability to bypass most combat by sprinting through levels.
