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 fast-paced, experimental first-person roguelike shooter with high mobility and a modular upgrade system, set in a futuristic underground facility.

What players say

Players describe an old-school shooter with Serious Sam vibes, but the execution is rough: fatal crashes after death, falling through the map, no mouse sensitivity options, and a missing tutorial split opinion on whether the fun is worth the jank.
