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 deliberately paced, tense stealth experience where you rely on patience, observation, and precise timing to outwit guards and survive tight corridors.

What players say

Players praise the story and characters, calling it a classic that holds up decades later. The gameplay shows its age, with fixed camera angles and sometimes frustrating controls and boss fights. The port is criticized for resolution issues and input problems on modern hardware.
