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 linear, mission-based military shooter where players fight in high-intensity firefights across global locations, managing equipment and making choices in a realistic, team-oriented setting.

What players say

Players call it a fun but rough arcade shooter that blends old-school Novalogic with modern influences like Call of Duty. The campaign is short, the movement feels sluggish on mouse and keyboard, and multiplayer has bugs, but a story update improved the experience. Opinions split over whether the price is worth it.
