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 stylish, fast-paced hunt through a dark, moonlit city where combat against giant beasts blends with motorcycle traversal.

What players say

Players praise its dark cell-shaded style and eerie atmosphere, comparing it to Suda51 games and Shadow of the Colossus for its harpoon and climbing mechanics. Combat gets called stiff and janky, with clipping issues and quiet attacks, but the motorcycle exploration and world design win over most. The game is short, around a few hours, and players recommend rebinding controls due to odd defaults.
