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
You control a parasitic alien in a gritty 80s dystopia, hopping between bodies and blasting through procedurally generated crowds with frantic, arcade-like combat.

What players say
Players love the idea of possessing enemies and the 80s style, but are split on whether the execution works. Many find the meta progression grindy and unfair, with new areas resetting host unlocks. A later mode that unlocks all hosts from the start addressed some complaints. Crashes and performance issues are still reported.
