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

You frantically fight off waves of realistic, terrifying spiders in a grim alien research station with flamethrowers and heavy weaponry, making it a tense and chaotic survival shooter.

What players say

Players describe a short, unfinished game built from pre-made assets where you shoot spiders. Many find it genuinely frightening despite the rough state, though some note performance issues and a lack of content.
