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 stealth action game where you inch through shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to move while surrounded by hostile patrols.

What players say

Players like the hand-drawn art and lore, but they split on the gameplay: some find it balanced for quick sessions, while others call the enemy AI bad with detection through cover. The radar can be more confusing than helpful, and first minutes are often frustrating.
