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 top-down survival horror where you scavenge for limited ammo with no hand-holding, as you delve deeper into a dark, lore-rich world that slowly erodes your sanity.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, atmospheric top-down shooter that can be finished in about an hour. The minimal visuals and sound create a claustrophobic, suspenseful feel. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it well-balanced and challenging, others say the final level spikes hard, while a few report it is too easy for experienced players.
