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

The game feels like a frantic, arcade-style third-person shooter where you and your team blast through waves of enemies with explosive weapons.

What players say

Players describe Scourge: Outbreak as a budget Gears of War clone that is decent with friends but frustrating solo. The AI teammates are widely criticized as useless, while enemies are bullet sponges even on easy. Co-op is the main draw, but multiplayer is dead and the checkpoint system can set you back. Some find its dated design charming.
