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 fast, minimalist roguelite FPS with retro graphics where you frantically manage scarce ammo and health while blasting or sneaking through a tower.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short FPS, finishing in 20 to 40 minutes. The core loop has you climbing an office building, stealing keycards from managers, and fighting robots. Opinions are split: some call it a fun, charming roguelite with smooth controls, while others dismiss it as a low-effort tech demo with linear levels.
