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 methodical, low-poly cyberpunk puzzle game where you carefully plan each move to sneak past enemies in small grid-based levels.

What players say

Players say this is a very short puzzle game clearly inspired by Hitman Go, taking under an hour to finish. The level design is clever and the mechanics are varied, but the game lacks basic polish: there is no level select screen, no sound effects for most actions, and the menu uses cryptic icons that can wipe your save by accident.
