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 speedrun-friendly first-person shooter that feels like a nostalgic, magical romp through colorful medieval environments, blending fast combat with light puzzle-solving and secret hunting.

What players say

Players compare Wizordum to a blend of Wolfenstein 3D and Hexen, praising its secret hunting and charming pixel aesthetic. Opinions split on combat: some find the weapons underpowered and the enemy placement punishing, while others enjoy the relaxed pace. A notable number of reviews report bugs with enemies clipping through walls and floors, sometimes breaking progression.
