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 first-person shooter set in a beautiful, atmospheric flying city, blending tense action with a tightly-woven narrative and a constant sense of dread and wonder.

What players say

Players praise the story and bond with Elizabeth, calling the ending unforgettable. The airy Columbia setting and sky-line combat keep things fresh, though the two-weapon limit frustrates some. Long-time players note it runs well on Steam Deck but can break on modern Windows, and the small HUD at high resolutions needs a mod.
