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.

What players say

Players split on Back 4 Blood. Fans who never played Left 4 Dead or bought it cheap often enjoy the arcade shooting and card-based builds as a fun co-op romp. Long-time players say development stalled in 2024, the card system can be confusing, and the asking price remains absurdly high, most agree it is only worth buying at a deep discount.
