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, first-person dungeon crawl through progressively harder nightmare layers where permadeath forces careful use of randomly found gear.

What players say

Players praise the duplication mechanic and destructible terrain as inventive features that set it apart, though many note the game offers little guidance and has a short loop. Some say the replay value is low, while others appreciate the developer's active support.
