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, first-person arena brawler with heavy, visceral melee combat and a constant sense of forward momentum.

What players say

Players find Bloodmatch a short but fun mix of boomer shooter and arena fighter, with branching paths adding replayability. The melee combat splits opinion: some enjoy it, others find it frustratingly tanky without a block or dodge, leading to a poke-and-retreat rhythm. The soundtrack and pixel art atmosphere are consistently praised, while the voice acting is called amateur but charming.
