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 tactical shooter where coordinated squad play and smart positioning determine the outcome of fast-paced 8v8 battles.

What players say

Players praise the game as a faithful spiritual successor to Ghost Recon Phantoms, but opinions are split on whether its current state is worth paying for. Many highlight a small development team working with limited resources, resulting in bugs, clunky UI, and slow matchmaking, while others see steady improvements and satisfying combat.
