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 branching narrative where you balance training and moral choices in an alien gladiator contest, driven by your decisions.

What players say

Players say the game ends abruptly and most choices feel like they do not matter. Many find the characters cliche and the story less interesting than the first game. There is disagreement, some appreciate it as a middle chapter in a planned trilogy.
