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, sound-driven stealth game where you navigate a maze while avoiding sound-sensitive enemies with limited visual information.

What players say

Players praise the noise-based stealth concept but note a sharp difficulty spike after collecting six crystals. Some wish for a crouch toggle to ease hand strain, and multiplayer is described as unstable.
