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

Blasting through pixelated mutant hordes in a fast-paced retro shooter with a sci-fi B-movie feel.

What players say

Players see this as a short expansion rather than a full sequel, taking around 90 minutes. The map now appears on the HUD with a zoom that reveals secrets, which some find too easy. It still runs on the Wolfenstein 3D engine and players agree it cannot match Doom.
