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 chaotic and fast-paced multiplayer shooter where players engage in frantic team-based battles as humans or dinosaurs.

What players say

Players say this 2012 multiplayer dino-vs-humans game is essentially dead, with empty servers and no player base. Those who loved it a decade ago are nostalgic, but warn that today you need to organize private groups to play. Some point newcomers to the sequel, Primal Carnage Extinction, for a living community.
