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 gleefully anarchic open-world sandbox where you can cause chaos with absurd weapons and over-the-top missions

What players say

Players love the game itself, the story, customization, and city are praised, but nearly every reviewer warns that the PC port is broken, requiring community patches like Juiced or Gentlemen of the Row just to run.
