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, atmospheric first-person survival horror experience where you fight mutant creatures in a dark underground lab while receiving guidance from an ally via radio.

What players say

Players are split on this amateur survival horror shooter. Some appreciate it for its low price and fun Russian-voiced action that reminds them of Far Cry, while others call it buggy and unpolished, feeling like a quick asset flip. The game is short, easy, and lacks any real horror despite its genre tags.
