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

Fighting as a giant mech in an isometric view, blasting endless waves of enemy machines with tight twin-stick controls.

What players say

Players say Livelock is a fun but mediocre twin-stick shooter that expects you to replay the same linear campaign three times with different characters. The Russian voice acting is a surprise, but the small weapon selection and repetitive enemy variety wear thin quickly.
