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 fast-paced, cinematic first-person shooter with heavy combat, stealth sections, and a grim alternate-history setting.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying gunplay and surprisingly deep story, with memorable characters and a unique alternate-history setting. The stealth and action blend well, though movement feels sluggish and the Uber difficulty is punishing but fair.
