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 frantic, high-speed descent through robot-filled test chambers, swapping overheating guns while suspicious voices crackle over speakers.

What players say

Players are split on Test Subject Name: some enjoy the fast movement and challenging platforming, while others find the controls clunky, the grappling hook stiff, and the gunplay frustrating. Many note it is short and buggy, but see potential for a better game once more work is done.
