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, atmospheric stealth game that feels like moving through a hand-drawn, pixelated dystopian comic book while solving puzzles and avoiding enemies.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and dual-character puzzle-stealth mechanics, but note the early access state: only a few hours of content, missing settings at launch, and occasional bugs or lag. Reviews split on difficulty, with some finding it easy and others saying it gets challenging.
