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 and fast-paced multiplayer shooter where you navigate by echolocation, using sound to locate enemies while staying silent to survive.

What players say

Players praise the echolocation-based blindness mechanic as a fresh take on arena shooters, but consistently report the multiplayer is dead, with most matches filled with bots. The few maps and modes make it feel repetitive quickly, and development appears to have stalled since 2019.
