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 gritty, atmospheric first-person shooter set in a meticulously recreated 1950s Moscow subway, where players navigate tense, linear corridors and engage in combat to uncover a personal mystery.

What players say

Players say this sequel is buggy and brutally difficult, often requiring reloads. It is shorter than the first game and limits the player to three weapons. Split opinion: some find it a charmingly broken experience, while others call it unplayable.
