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

Playing feels like being dropped into a chaotic, relentless late-90s arena shooter where every corner holds brutal combat and atmospheric dread.

What players say

Players are split on this retro FPS. Some enjoy its heavy weapons and dark horror atmosphere, while others say it is ruined by bugs, no settings menu, unfair enemies and being built on the GameGuru engine. Reviews often compare it to a budget Quake 2.
