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 fast-paced third-person shooter where you play as a robot fighting alien hordes in a futuristic scrapyard, with agile movement and cover-based combat.

What players say

Players describe The Scrap as a short, cover-based shooter with gorgeous graphics and a few fun moments, but most agree it feels unfinished. Complaints focus on no checkpoints, no key remapping, a buggy cover system, and performance drops during boss fights. A minority find it enjoyable despite the rough edges.
