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 stealthy, top-down murder spree driven by dark humor and frustration with noisy neighbors.

What players say

Players praise the dark humor and pixel art, with many noting fun but repetitive stealth gameplay that gets tiring after the first few levels. Some compare it unfavorably to Hotline Miami, calling it more RNG-based. A minority report controller issues and the story's twist ending surprises some.
