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 first-person shooter where you explore hallucinatory digital ruins, blasting zombie-like enemies between eerie platforming and puzzling.

What players say

Players praise the surreal atmosphere and creative visuals but are split on design choices. Many note floaty controls, frustrating checkpoint placement, and unclear navigation, while others appreciate the unique megastructure setting and multiple endings.
