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-paced retro shooter with faith-themed weaponry against demons in ancient Roman catacombs, blending lighthearted comedy with psychedelic visuals.

What players say

Players are split on this Christian FPS port. Nostalgic fans love the janky, early 2000s feel and call it a fun Doom clone with a unique theme. Others find it artificially difficult with bullet-sponge enemies, scarce resources, and bugs that are almost game-breaking. The Steam release locks the frame rate to 30, which fixes some issues but leaves others unchanged.
