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 deliberate, turn-based heist game where you and a ghostly ally carefully scout and plan before executing a stealthy fantasy robbery.

What players say

Players compare it to Invisible Inc. but find it inferior due to the lack of procedural generation, the same maps repeat across three acts. Many enjoy the early levels and ghost-scouting mechanic, but opinions split on a difficulty spike mid-game where controlling multiple units becomes frustrating.
