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 tense military stealth-action game where you sneak and shoot through war-torn environments as a special agent.

What players say

Players report a rough, dated third-person shooter that suffers from heavy bloom, poor performance, and frustrating stealth sections where instant kills and harsh checkpoints punish mistakes. Many call the ending anticlimactic. A few players still find some fun despite the flaws.
