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

Exploring a sleek, dystopian mega-city with a mix of cerebral hacking puzzles and a darkly humorous noir story.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel to the 1994 classic. Some praise the story, voice acting, and return to Union City, but many criticize a single hacking puzzle repeated throughout the game, making it feel one-note.
