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 methodical, stealth-driven nocturnal heist through corporate offices, balancing hacking and careful movement.

What players say

Players love this pure stealth game where the thief has no attack options, only tools and patience. It is short at around 2-4 hours but rewards multiple playthroughs with different endings. Some find the backtracking slow and enemy vision unfair at times, but most call it a solid, refreshing throwback to Metal Gear Solid.
