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 minimalist, arcade-style first-person shooter where you switch between intense survival fights and tense stealth missions, customizing your loadout and skills for high-score runs.

What players say

Players describe it as a broken, unfinished first-person shooter that feels like an asset flip, with bugs at every turn and no updates for years. The AI is erratic, sometimes ignoring the player and at other times shooting through walls, and the stealth mode triggers an instant fail. Comparisons to SUPERHOT are common, but always to say this game falls far short.
