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 gleefully over-the-top action movie simulator where you flip, slide, and shoot in stylish slow motion, embracing pure mayhem and comedic spectacle.

What players say

Players remember this as a fun, free Max Payne-like shooter on the Source engine, but consistently warn that the multiplayer is dead and finding other players is nearly impossible. Some note the game is a nostalgic favorite, and one reviewer mentions the owner died.
