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 tense, top-down tactical survival horror where you manage a squad against a fleshy alien threat, pausing time to make desperate, calculated decisions.

What players say

Players praise the core concept and base management, but many report game-breaking bugs, repetitive missions, and gender-based class restrictions that limit female soldiers. The game is considered easier and less tense than the first.
