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 and intense retro shooter with pixelated violence and a pounding soundtrack that demands quick reflexes.

What players say

Players call it the grandfather of FPS games, but most insist you need the ECWolf source port to fix the clunky controls and resolution. The core shooting is still fast and addictive, though some warn about soft-lock bugs in certain levels. Players split on whether the later episodes become repetitive.
