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 grounded, co-op dungeon crawl that blends fantasy melee and ranged combat with the cover-based pace of a modern shooter.

What players say

A capable but middle-of-the-road cooperative shooter from the early 2010s. Its cover system resembles Gears of War but is less polished, and the campaign runs about 12 hours. Players recommend it mostly for co-op, since the solo AI partner is dull.
