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 frantic yet tactical top-down shooter where you experiment with gear and permanent death keeps each run tense.

What players say

Players are split on Synthetik 2. Many praise the satisfying gunplay and visual upgrade over the first game, but performance problems, crashes, and finicky controls are widespread complaints. The long early access has left some feeling development is unfocused, with features still feeling half-baked.
