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 quiet, tense crawl through dark, cramped corridors where you rely on special vision to navigate traps and hidden dangers as an infected bunker's security systems close in.

What players say

Players describe a minimalist 2D action game with precise drone flying, fuel management, and instant death on contact. Some call it a tense horror-like descent, while others see a pure arcade challenge. Sentiment splits on whether the punishing controls are a thrill or a frustration.
