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 dark fantasy first-person shooter where you cast spells in eerie medieval corridors with the deliberate pace and pixelated grit of 90s shooters.

What players say
Players call it Doom with a fantasy coat of paint, praising the magic weapons and the Tome of Power. Some find the level design frustrating with constant ambushes, and note that ammo runs tight on higher difficulties. Several recommend using the GZDoom sourceport over the built-in DOSBox version.
