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, tactical stealth experience where every move matters in procedurally generated missions against mind-controlling enemies.

What players say

Players say this is a punishing stealth game built for co-op, single-player is brutally hard and requires using the time-rewind ability. Combat is discouraged because enemies are shielded from the front and raising the alarm brings endless reinforcements. The campaign is procedurally generated, and death forces a full restart.
