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 frantic, die-and-retry FPS where every shot counts and you must balance memorization with sheer improvisation.

What players say

Players describe it as a first-person Hotline Miami set at a Christmas office party. It is fast, skill-based, and difficult, with levels requiring memorization. Some note the visual theme is repetitive across all levels and that there are no leaderboards or personal best times.
