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 tense, methodical squad-based shooter where careful planning and precise execution are rewarded over run-and-gun action.

What players say

Players appreciate the tactical top-down shooter for its cooperative play and weapon customization, but warn that it is punishingly hard, the squad AI is suicidal, and visibility is too short for snipers. The campaign has only 16 missions and online play depends on private lobbies, long-time players say servers are down. Some Chinese reviewers also flag the developers for political symbolism.
