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, team-focused paintball shooter with arcade-style combat and heavy emphasis on weapon and character customization.

What players say

Players report that the game is essentially unplayable due to a dead multiplayer population, login failures, and crashes on launch. The few who connect find basic FPS mechanics with no lean or slide, leading many to call it a cash grab compared to the first game.
