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 punishing first-person shooter where every move and shot must be precise to survive a procedurally generated hostile world.

What players say

Players compare Red Dust to Receiver, praising its gun handling and reload mechanics but warning it is rough and hardcore. Many say the jank hurts, with dark maps making enemies hard to spot and turrets that kill near instantly. Some enjoy the challenge and catgirl elements, while others find the game confused and too punishing.
