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 skulk through a procedurally-generated British countryside, desperately scavenging for food while dodging tweed-clad robots that hunt you with relentless, escalating AI.

What players say

Players praise the unique British countryside atmosphere and tweedpunk robot hunters, but many say the game feels unfinished: enemy AI is predictable, combat is clunky, and a developer update allegedly broke multiplayer beyond repair. Critical progression bugs like stuck collectibles were never patched out. Long-time fans note the studio shut down before fixing it.
