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 heavy, deliberate first-person brawler with crunchy melee hits and a grim, lore-soaked world that demands careful timing and risk management.

What players say
Players call it a short but fun melee FPS with a heavy metal and sword-and-sorcery feel, comparing its combat to Doom. Many praise the aesthetic and soundtrack, but criticize the short length, uneven weapon balance, and some late-game levels that feel confusing or repetitive. Performance can struggle at 4K. Sentiment is mixed on difficulty and depth.
