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, clean multiplayer shooter that feels polished and inviting, focusing on pure movement and aim without distractions.

What players say

Players say the multiplayer is dead, leaving only bots to play with. Split-screen works but requires multiple controllers, not a mix of keyboard and mouse. The game went free to play, yet still feels bare-bones with simple mechanics and limited content.
