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 text-driven atmospheric drama about the grim, survival-focused life in a small Russian town.

What players say

Players finish the three storylines in about ten minutes of clicking, calling it less a game and more a joke or social commentary. The survival mode is repetitive with non-random events, and the casino is a random money sink. Those who recommend it do so for the dark satire of everyday life in Russia and the low price, while others say even that is too much.
