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 colorful, retro-futuristic detective shooter set in a post-war privatized city, with an odd mix of cyberpunk and 1980s crime drama.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the nostalgic, trashy humor set in Kharkiv, but many say the gameplay is poor, with janky combat and a difficulty spike in the early fistfight section. It's very short, around 1-2 hours, and best bought on discount.
