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 Hellboy Web of Wyrd feels like stepping into a gritty, comic-book-style brawl through shifting, occult-tinged dungeons with a dry, darkly humorous tone.

What players say

Players praise the comic-accurate visuals and dark atmosphere, but split on the gameplay: it is praised as fun and simple by some, while others find the combat stiff, the maps repetitive, and the controls unresponsive. The translation is criticized, and performance problems like crashes are reported.
