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 tense game of cat and mouse where you must blend in with NPCs while hunting your target and avoiding your own hunter.

What players say

Players say it is a fun party game best played with friends, with short rounds and a unique hunter-and-prey twist. However, players split on private lobbies working smoothly, and many note limited content, one map being too large, and glitches.
