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 harrowing, visceral WWII shooter that throws players into chaotic frontline combat with unflinching brutality and survival pressure.

What players say

Players love the gritty campaign and endless custom zombies maps, but warn the multiplayer is overrun by hackers and the base game often refuses to let you create a profile, forcing players to use third-party tools like Plutonium just to play online.
