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
You move through a ruined world, slipping between enemy forms to survive, each body a fragile mask that shifts your options.

What players say
Players praise the body-swapping mechanic as an interesting twist but say the game is held back by poor performance even on high-end hardware, shallow combat that relies on a single attack, and rough controls. The game is very short, around 20 to 40 minutes. It was created as a university student project, which some reviewers take as context for its unpolished state.
