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 bleak, punishing journey through a savage post-apocalyptic wasteland where survival demands violence and moral compromise.

What players say

Players are deeply split on this deliberately abrasive game. Many call it a troll or janky mess with homophobic content and impenetrable gameplay, while a few appreciate its absurd humor and philosophical satire. A common sentiment is that the game is only enjoyable with cheats or for fans of Russian streamer Maddyson.
