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 fast-paced, cinematic third-person shooter that feels rhythmic and satisfying once you master its challenging combat.

What players say

Players praise the strategic cover-based combat, shield mechanics, and challenging boss fights, but are frustrated by an irrelevant forced login and a janky platforming system. The game is buggy and graphically basic, and players think it is too expensive for early access.
