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

Intense four-player co-op action with visceral first-person melee combat against endless enemy hordes.

What players say

Players praise the weighty melee combat and distinct classes, calling it the closest melee successor to Left 4 Dead. The Chaos Wastes rogue-lite mode is a hit, but versus mode is dead. Players split on technical issues: some report frequent disconnections and anti-cheat problems, especially outside North America, while others have hundreds of stable hours.
