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 blistering old-school shooter with relentless, dual-wielding combat against monstrous enemies in claustrophobic, grim sci-fi corridors.

What players say

Players compare HYPERVIOLENT to System Shock and older boomer shooters, but opinions are split. Many praise the dual-wielding and salvage mechanics, yet a larger group reports persistent bugs, crashes, slow loading times, and frustrating weapon durability. The level design draws criticism, especially on-rails segments and a late-game boss that stalks the player.
