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

Frozen landscapes and crackling radios feed a creeping dread as you and your team carefully explore decaying facilities, knowing one wrong move could end your run.

What players say

Players describe Forsaken Frontiers as a hardcore and atmospheric horror game, with split opinions on difficulty. Some praise the balance and creepy vibe, while others criticize near-constant instant kills and inescapable entities in small corridors. The unlimited loot capacity and lack of storage in the train hub frustrate some, though cooperative play is widely recommended.
