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 grim, alternate-history first-person shooter where you slog through endless trench warfare with a persistent sense of desperation and decay.

What players say

Players praise the cold, dirty atmosphere and alternate history where WWI never ended, but warn the game is rough and often frustrating. Expect heavy backtracking, instant death from headshots, and difficulty spikes that may require a guide. The game also fails to record playtime on Steam without a workaround.
