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 grounded, intense first-person shooter where you fight infected hordes across a sprawling city and suburbs under a dynamic day-night cycle.

What players say

Players say this is a poorly-made asset flip with clunky gameplay and persistent bugs, though some note it tries to be a serious game. Translation and sound issues add to the frustration, and reviews are split on whether it is worth the low price.
