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, dystopian puzzle-platformer where you lead desperate followers through a darkly comic revolution, balancing stealth and crafted violence against oppressive odds.

What players say

Players praise the visuals and atmosphere but are split on the gameplay. Many find the controls frustrating and the puzzles reliant on trial and error rather than skill. The reimagining of Abe's Exoddus divides longtime fans, with some appreciating the ambition and others criticizing the added crafting mechanics.
