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 bombastic, gleefully absurd sandbox where you cause mayhem with a smirk.

What players say

Players call it a chaotic open-world sandbox that leans into absurdity rather than realism. The giant dildo weapon is frequently mentioned, and many say the original 2011 version is still preferred over the remaster for its full content and mod support.
