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 tense, methodical tactical shooter where planning positioning and managing your mercenary squad under fire feels deliberate and punishing.

What players say

Players compare this to a mix of Jagged Alliance and XCOM, praising the body part aiming system. Opinions split: some see a solid foundation with promise, while many others report the game feels abandoned, lacking updates, buggy, and incomplete even after years in early access.
