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 simple, punishing endless runner where one mistake restarts you, and the increasing speed creates a tense, gory atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe a first-person endless runner set in a foggy forest where speed constantly ramps up. There are three difficulty modes adding obstacles and zombies, but no settings menu and runs restart on a single hit. Some like the atmosphere and music, while others find the pace too fast and the difficulty frustrating.
