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

you navigate a cyberpunk desert city, switching between third-person shooting and investigative detective work while managing faction tensions.

What players say

Players praise the fluid movement and combat with the war-suit, but many say the UI is buggy and the game feels like a tech demo. The campaign is short at around 2 to 4 hours, and the writing is divisive with some finding it overdone. Performance is poor even on high-end hardware, and controller is strongly recommended over keyboard.
