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, slow-burn stealth game where you carefully navigate procedurally generated office buildings, eating furniture for survival while avoiding armed guards and traps.

What players say

A stealth roguelike where you eat your own cover, turning hiding spots into a resource. Players praise the central tension and dynamic music, but some find it tedious and repetitive, especially as levels grow larger. Controller support is poor.
