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 methodical, historically grounded World War 2 shooter that prioritizes realistic weapon handling and expansive battlefield tactics over arcade action.

What players say

Players praise Easy Red 2 as a passionate, affordable WW2 shooter that blends arcade fun with realism. It runs well on older hardware, offers huge content variety across many fronts, and has active mod support. However, the AI can be unfair, vehicle physics are janky, and multiplayer is effectively dead.
