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 slow, tense game of stalking and sniping from concealment with a heavy historical atmosphere, rewarding patience and precision over speed.

What players say

Players generally enjoy the classic sniper action and the iconic x-ray kill cam, but some note it is short, about six hours, and warn that ads play on launch. Many consider it a good old-school shooter, though opinions split on whether later entries improve on it.
