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, breakneck FPS where you blast demons in blistering sprints, dying and retrying for the perfect, leaderboard-topping run.

What players say

Players praise the instant restart and ghost-run feature that make grinding short levels addictive, but many note the single music track and small community-map pool hold it back. There is disagreement over whether it plays like Doom: some call it Doom speedrunning, others say it is a pure parkour shooter, not a boomer shooter at all.
