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 lone developer's dark fantasy shooter with deliberate combat and a surreal, story-rich world.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and art direction but agree the game is rough in early access, with janky combat, static NPCs, missing mouth animations, and unclear progression. Many support the single developer's vision but advise waiting for more polish.
