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, claustrophobic isometric survival horror that blends action, puzzle-platforming, and exploration in a dark futuristic bunker.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and detailed graphics, calling the top-down survival horror a solid foundation. Many note it is short by design and eagerly await chapter 2. Critics find it rough, citing unskippable cutscenes, clunky animations, and a lack of polish.
