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 frantic, arcade-style first-person shooter with a persistent day-night cycle that shifts the mood from tense survival to desperate chaos.

What players say

Players say Combat Force is an unfinished, abandoned asset flip. The zombie mode has bullet-sponge enemies and poor optimization, while planned multiplayer and campaign modes were never delivered. A few find it mildly fun in short bursts, but most agree it is not worth buying.
