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

Navigating a crime-ridden cyberpunk city as a morally ambiguous vigilante, where every choice shapes the grim, violent world around you.

What players say

Players call this a short, story-driven cyberpunk RPG with multiple endings and meaningful choices. Combat is turn-based and widely considered too easy. Players are split on the RPG Maker engine: some say it hides a solid story and mature tone, while others see low effort. The game takes about 5 to 8 hours to complete.
