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 tense, atmospheric top-down shooter where you scavenge and fight through debris fields with physics-based combat and hard survival mechanics.

What players say

Players compare it to Teleglitch, calling it a similar but easier take. Many praise the crafting and physics, but reviews are split on difficulty: some find the instant death and off-screen enemies too punishing, while others enjoy the challenge as a core feature.
