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 heavy metal first person shooter set in a punkish neighborhood, with retro arcade feel and early access polish.

What players say

Players see a short, janky student project with fun movement but repetitive levels and bland gunplay. Some enjoy the parkour, others find it overused, and most agree it needs more development.
