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 lonely, methodical crawl through a hostile, alien world where each new area demands cautious exploration and precise combat.

What players say

Players praise the graphics and controls but are split on the design: some enjoy the huge, dense map while others find it boring and repetitive. Boss fights are widely called frustrating and uneven, especially early on, and backtracking wears people down.
