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 fast-paced, aggressive first-person shooter set in a sci-fi war against a hive-minded enemy.

What players say

Players are split on this 2005 Russian FPS. Some call it a guilty pleasure with decent pacing and a weird premise, while others find it unfinished and boring. It requires a fan patch to fix missing music and display issues, and the controls are janky.
