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

You creep through dark, decaying corridors, hoarding every bullet and bandage while deciding whether to help strangers or leave them to their fate in a lonely, unforgiving world.

What players say

Players split on Dead Frontier 2. Some enjoy the free scavenging loop and market economy, but many long-time players say progression turns into a gacha grind with terrible drop rates. The game draws comparisons to the first Dead Frontier, which players say feels more like a real MMO. Others report false bans and a broken roguelike mode where fast clears get flagged as cheating.
