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

Navigating an infinite, buzzing office maze while scavenging supplies and evading lurking entities creates a tense and disorienting survival loop.

What players say

Players appreciate the atmosphere and survival mechanics, but criticize repetitive room layouts and high GPU usage. Many say the game has been abandoned with no updates since July 2022, and the survival systems make exploration a chore.
