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 gritty, open-ended shooting RPG set on a lawless prison planet where the player navigates a violent, darkly comedic world alone.

What players say

Players praise the game's Russian humor and nostalgic charm, but note brutally punishing combat with low hit chances even at high skill, and some report crashes on modern systems.
