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 fast-paced cyberpunk brawler where you hack enemies to steal their bodies and unleash chaotic, synthwave-soaked melee mayhem.

What players say

Players praise the core hacking mechanic of taking over enemies in a Tron-like setting, but many find the combat too slow and the sword animations sluggish. The low-poly visuals and lack of sound cues are common complaints, and the final boss is seen as too passive with sparse save points.
