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 fast-paced tactical shooter where you breach rooms, blast walls, and coordinate with teammates in tense VR firefights.

What players say

Players praise the solo developer for reviving the game after a period of inactivity, with a major update overhauling almost everything. The core destructible walls mechanic is called out as fun but not tactically deep, and some say the campaign is short with few missions.
