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, violent retro shooter with heavy atmosphere and constant tension as you fight demons through abandoned Mars facilities.

What players say

Players split on Doom 64. Fans call it an underrated horror take that trades metal riffs for creepy ambience and darker demon designs. Critics say levels are slow and maze-like, with too many Hell Knights and Barons that bog the action down. Time-sensitive secret puzzles frustrate some. It feels like a bridge between classic Doom and Doom 3.
