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

Time moves only when you move, forcing careful, deliberate actions in a blur of slow-motion gunplay and violence.

What players say

Time only moves when you do, turning firefights into tense puzzles where every action matters. Players consistently praise the core mechanic as brilliantly original, but many call the campaign very short and recommend waiting for a sale.
