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

Squad feels like a slow-burn, high-stakes military simulation where communication and careful coordination dominate every firefight.

What players say

Players say Squad lives or dies on squad leader communication, with a steep learning curve and long runs between firefights. The Unreal Engine 5 update brought performance problems and game-breaking UI bugs, and some players regret the shift in priorities since Tencent's involvement.
