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

Fast-paced first-person combat mixes with eerie, dread-filled horror as you slow time to survive ambushes in dim corporate corridors.

What players say

Players consistently praise the enemy AI for flanking and coordinating, and the slow-motion combat remains a highlight. The campaign runs about 9 to 10 hours, but many note that modern systems require a patch or mod to fix crashes and run properly.
