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, atmospheric tactical shooter where you lead a squad through covert Cold War-era missions against a mysterious alien threat.

What players say
Players are split on this third-person XCOM shooter. Some enjoy the Mass Effect-like gameplay and 1960s alien invasion story, while others criticize bullet-sponge enemies, bad squad AI, and repetitive linear missions.
