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 frenetic, old-school first-person shooter where you chainsaw monsters and blast enemies in stylized post-apocalyptic arenas.

What players say

Players compare it to classic shooters like Doom and Duke Nukem. It is a fast-paced retro FPS with an unusual grapple hook and a chainsaw that is necessary for healing. The game is very difficult, even on the lowest setting, and several players find it easy to get lost in the levels.
