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 punishing first-person stealth game where you explore a dark house, evade a talkative killer, and complete optional objectives for leaderboard points.

What players say

Players are split on Stab. Some enjoy the tense cat-and-mouse gameplay and puzzles, but many criticize the killer's repetitive voice lines and bad AI that lets him get stuck. Several report broken achievements and find it nearly impossible to escape once spotted, making progress feel unfair.
