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 bizarre, atmospheric first-person brawler where you fight surreal creatures in a fantastical open world, often with a partner.

What players say

Players praise the bizarre world and improved combat over the first game, but are split on the shift to a semi-open world with co-op. Many find the map encourages tedious backtracking through respawning enemies, and the story leaves more questions than answers.
