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, methodical puzzle-shooter where you must plan each move and strike from the shadows to survive.

What players say

Players describe it as a brutal puzzle-stealth hybrid that demands both fast reflexes and careful planning, with levels so tight you barely have time to position yourself. The global leaderboard drives replayability, though some find the invisible guard sight cones frustrating and the sound annoyingly repetitive.
