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 gritty steampunk city simmers with inequality and decay while you claw your way up through tactical choices and turn-based combat.

What players say

Players largely agree development has stalled with no meaningful updates for nearly a year, likely due to the developers' situation in Ukraine. What exists shows promise but feels like a short, unfinished demo, leaving the community split between those who hope it resumes and those who call it a dead project.
