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 frenetic, old-school shooter with a dark cyberpunk atmosphere and relentless hordes of enemies.

What players say

Players praise the cyberpunk atmosphere and visual effects but split on the gameplay. The level design is often called claustrophobic, relying on tight corridors that make dodging difficult, and the movement is described as sluggish. Combat feels repetitive with only two upgradable weapons.
