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 tense and cinematic blend of third-person shooting and story-driven live-action sequences where time-bending powers dictate the flow of combat and narrative.

What players say

Players praise the time manipulation powers and the engaging story, but opinions split on the combat and technical performance. Many see it as a weaker entry in the Remedy lineup compared to Control and Alan Wake, though the live-action episodes and characters earn consistent praise.
