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 feel isolated and desperate in a sealed high-rise, scavenging for resources to survive and signal for rescue amid an alien-infested ruin.

What players say

Players describe a promising survival-horror game that was abandoned by its solo developer after he entered mandatory military service. It has the core loop of descending a high-rise while crafting and fighting, but reviews warn of unfinished content, unbalanced difficulty, and occasional crashes.
