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, competitive multiplayer strategy game where players manipulate test subjects in a dark medical trial.

What players say
Players compare it to a worse Buckshot Roulette that runs out of steam after an hour. Multiplayer lobbies are empty, but those who play with friends report goofy fun. Players are split on whether the single player holds up, and several note the lack of achievements and abandoned development.
