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 fast-paced struggle of platforming and shooting through neon-drenched cyberpunk landscapes against tough enemies.

What players say

Players are split on this run-and-gun FPS: some love the speedrun challenges and soundtrack, while others slam the grappling mechanic as broken and call the game empty shovelware. The jump height feels random, the grappling hook frequently kills the player, and there is no mouse sensitivity setting.
