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 rugged, lonely trek across a frozen alien world in a clunky mech, balancing hazardous jobs with creeping dread.

What players say

Players are split on Lost Planet 3. Some call it an underrated, story-driven game worth a weekend, while others say it drops the fast-paced mech action of the first two games for a slow tractor and borrows too heavily from Dead Space. A handful warn that the PC port is one of the worst they have seen, and several note the developer has since shut down.
