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 are split hard on this one. Many bought it for the co-op, which was later removed, leaving them feeling betrayed. Others, who got it for a dollar or two, find it a passable time-killer despite repetitive fights and respawning zombies. The game is a hybrid of real-time and pausable tactics, and it is very different from the original Breach & Clear. The campaign is short, around 20 hours.
