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, punishing stealth game where one mistake ends everything, forcing careful, methodical movement through a hostile cyberpunk city.

What players say

Players describe a promising but unfinished game that was abandoned by its developers. They call the stealth and gunplay primitive, the missions repetitive, and the world empty. A few players enjoy the concept in short bursts, but most say bugs, lack of a save system, and shallow mechanics make it hard to recommend.
