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 dark and gritty experience where you evolve supernatural powers while fighting through a tense, virus-ridden city.

What players say

Players call it a clear precursor to Warframe, praising the glaive weapon as the highlight. The campaign is short at around 11 hours, but the PC port has resolution and bug problems that divide opinion.
