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 frantic, punishing top-down shooter with a dark, surreal atmosphere and a grungy aesthetic that pulls you into a character study of regret and confronting your past.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and boss fights but are split on the narrative and the gameplay loop, with some calling it repetitive and lacking substance. The game is short, around 2-4 hours, and offers little replay value.
