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

Tense and methodical first-person exploration of a mysterious crash site, blending action with hidden-object investigation.

What players say

Players say this is a student project that shows promise but has rough edges. The level layout is confusing and easy to get lost in, the first section drags for about three hours, and enemies are bullet sponges with weak dropped weapons. Still, the game runs well on the Steam Deck and has a good story, with players split on whether it is worth the low price.
