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 chaotic, adrenaline-fueled sandbox where you zip through a massive open world causing massive destruction with reckless abandon.

What players say

Players love the massive open world and the chaotic sandbox, but the Steam port has crashing issues and the parachute speed is tied to framerate. The story is short and the map clearing can get repetitive, but the physics and sheer destruction make it a classic.
