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 tense, atmospheric shooter where you are hunted through a dark, claustrophobic Mars base by demonic monsters, relying on flashlights and heavy weaponry to survive.

What players say

Opinion on Doom 3 is split: players either love its slow survival horror style or dislike that it abandons the series' fast action. The separate flashlight mechanic is a point of tension, and many call it a cult classic or a proto-Dead Space rather than a true Doom game.
