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 deliberate, atmospheric blend of stealth and parkour across a historically rich open world, paced by investigation and sudden bursts of lethal action.

What players say

Players love the atmosphere and story, but the PC port is broken without community-made fixes. The game crashes on startup, freezes when trying to reach defunct servers, and must be played offline. Gameplay is extremely repetitive, with the same gather-info-then-assassinate structure throughout.
