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

You methodically infiltrate systems and make calculated choices that shape the fate of humanity, feeling like a cold, all-powerful intelligence navigating a web of digital intrigue.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many call it a buggy, unfinished mess with a white screen crash, vague objectives, and repetitive hacking that feels like a simplified Uplink. Others enjoy the AI simulation fantasy and the freedom to manipulate a simulated internet, though even fans note the clunky UI and bugs.
