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 short, atmospheric cyberpunk puzzle game where you hack security systems using retro computing, feeling clever and slightly tense.

What players say

Players praise the clever hacking-based puzzles and the satisfying, creative heists. They note it is short and wish for more complex missions, but appreciate the polished level design and the odd detail like working mirrors.
