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.

What players say

Players describe Black Squad as a once-popular free-to-play FPS that now feels dated, with a dead matchmaking system and rampant cheaters. Crashes on startup and bans from an ineffective anti-cheat are common complaints, though some still recommend it for nostalgic reasons or as a free alternative to CS.
