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 tense, narrative-driven military shooter with atmospheric environments and challenging combat.

What players say

Players report an ambitious but unfinished indie FPS with big swings in difficulty: enemies either die easily or one-shot you from across the map. A permanent death mechanic in one level catches some off guard, and save-load bugs cause weapon switching failures and looping audio. Those who praise the game highlight a good story and voice acting, but the short levels and slow load times frustrate.
