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 third-person shooter with physics-driven gameplay and varied missions against terrorist networks.

What players say

Players call it a nostalgic mid-2000s budget shooter with fun ideas like two protagonists and vehicles, but it is deeply buggy on modern Windows and has no jump button, no ending cutscene, and save-only checkpoints. Reviews split on whether the jank is charming or broken beyond enjoyment.
