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

Feels like a tense, unforgiving gun-handling simulator that demands methodical focus and nerves of steel to survive one-shot-kill enemies.

What players say

Players praise the deep, detailed gun simulation but warn the learning curve is steep and early deaths are constant. Later ranks run out of ammo so severely that the game turns into tense, scavenging survival. Players are split on whether requiring careful holstering is brilliant or infuriating.
