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 tense, punishing struggle where fragile human survivors pit stealth and desperation against overwhelming mechanized power in a war-torn city.

What players say

Players are split on Left Alive. Some call it a janky, unfinished mess with terrible AI and silent helicopters, while others find it a charming low-budget stealth game best on sale for a few dollars. The mech combat is sparse and the stealth is basic, but fans of Front Mission's universe sometimes push through for the story.
