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

You play as a fox navigating a dangerous cyberpunk city, protecting your cub while solving puzzles and memorizing routes to avoid threats.

What players say

Players praise the cyberpunk atmosphere and visuals, but nearly all say the game is broken. Many report the game crashes within seconds or is just 30 minutes of confusing puzzles. Controls are bad and the story feels incomplete, leading most to call it an unplayable tech demo.
