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

Playing feels like diving into a gritty, nostalgic action movie with layered storytelling and relentless top-down combat.

What players say

Players praise the hardcore retro challenge and fun action with infinite grenades, but some report imprecise aiming and a game-breaking bug late in episode 1. Opinions split on whether the difficulty is punishing or rewarding.
