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 methodical, tense first-person shooter with roguelite elements where every run demands cautious tactical movement and precise gunplay.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric WW2-meets-supernatural setting and satisfying gunplay, but many say the game feels abandoned without updates. Movement is intentionally slow, forcing heavy reliance on cover and making smooth locomotion feel like a disadvantage. Performance is noted as poor even on high-end hardware, and some find the constant fog and darkness make aiming difficult.
