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 quick, focused stealth-action roguelike that drops you into procedurally generated sci-fi corridors with custom character builds.

What players say

Players find this a disappointing step back from earlier games in the series. They dislike losing skill points on death, sluggish movement, and bullet sponge enemies. Many warn the procedurally generated maps lack a map system, making navigation frustrating.
