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 play as a cleaner dashing through 70s-themed crime scenes, stealthily mopping blood and hiding bodies while a groovy soundtrack keeps the pressure light.

What players say

Players praise the original premise of cleaning up crime scenes, but split over execution. Many note janky controls, controller problems, and bugged achievements that require restarting. The gameplay becomes repetitive around level 17, and the boss fight disappoints. It takes about 7 hours to finish.
