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 methodical, high-stakes tactical shooter where careful communication and precise execution in short, one-life rounds create a tense and competitive feel.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many call it a scam, point to a dead playerbase of under ten people, and report the developer bans critics on Discord. A minority enjoys it as the closest thing to Socom since H-Hour, but even they admit it is buggy and unfinished.
