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 solitary trek across an alien world that shifts from calm open air to tense, claustrophobic underground corridors filled with monsters and radioactive hazards.

What players say
Players call Zyphoid a 'so bad it's good' Metroid-inspired game from outsider developer N J Fox. It combines first-person 3D exploration with specimen hunting like Metroid 2, but is hilariously broken with typos and janky mechanics. Fans of earnest, unpolished experiences find charm and speedgame potential, though some warn it is unplayable.
