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 slow, tactical crawl through a grimy cyberpunk underworld where every move in simultaneous-turn combat demands careful planning.

What players say

Players love the gritty cyberpunk style, old-school feel and ambitious design, but are evenly split on recommending the game. Many report game-breaking bugs like disappearing items and NPCs, unresponsive controls, and a punishing combat system that relies heavily on chance. A persistent minority say the bugs are manageable and the game is a hidden gem.
