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 disjointed mix of short, atmospheric vignettes that feel like drifting through a fading world, pairing uneasy calm with bursts of manic energy.

What players say

Players are split on Rooftop Cop. Some see it as a pretentious art project with five pointless minigames that lack direction and polish, while others appreciate it as an abstract, atmospheric experience that defies traditional game design. Complaints include no control customization and a price that feels too high for the content offered.
