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 painstakingly drag your mutilated body through an alien-infested ship, manually performing every action under crushing pressure.

What players say

Players praise the unique one-armed mechanic and improved graphics and soundtrack, but are split on the ammo and crafting system: some say resources are too scarce early on, leading to soft-locks, while others find the economy floods later. The final boss is especially difficult, and the game requires frequent saving due to trial-and-error gameplay.
