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 first-person shooter where you fight through urban warzones with limited weaponry to escape a besieged city.

What players say

Players call it a very short, linear shooter you can finish in 20 minutes with no ending. The game has only a pistol and shotgun, regenerating health, and enemies with poor AI that can often be run past. Opinion splits on whether it is worth the low price or a trashy asset flip.
