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 light-hearted, voxel-stealth heist game where you casually plan and execute burglaries in a quaint town with low stakes.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a lighthearted fun stealth game, others fault clunky click-based controls, short 2 hour length, and low replayability. Performance issues and no controller support are also noted.
