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 third-person cover shooter blending retro-futurist steampunk aesthetics with Lovecraftian horror, emphasizing combat against shadowy otherworldly creatures.

What players say
Players praise the steampunk-Lovecraftian aesthetic, weapons and story, but many call the game unplayable due to bugs like enemies spawning in walls, random level-skipping teleports and severe difficulty spikes. Long-term reviews report the developer has abandoned it since release in 2021.
