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 and darkly humorous roguelite where you manage a supermarket through procedurally generated shifts, balancing employee welfare and store reputation while facing eerie horror elements.

What players say

Players praise the surreal horror setting and retail satire, but note the combat is easy and the game is short. The pixel art charms while navigation gets mazey. Players split on the difficulty: some find it trivially cheesed by farming money, others mention a lack of guidance.
