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 tense, hardcore tactical shooter where slow, careful movement and teamwork are essential to survive lethal firefights.

What players say

Players praise the gunplay and co-op as best-in-class but warn that the community is often toxic, the developers have stopped supporting mods, cheating undermines PvP, and performance still stutters.
