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 relentless, old-school third-person shooter where you mow down enemies with a combative, arcade-style rhythm and satisfying crunch.

What players say

Players praise the old-school arcade shooting and smooth movement, but note the campaign is short and the lack of key remapping frustrates some. Opinions split on the start: some find it boring before the later levels pick up, while performance on lower-end PCs can cause overheating.
