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

Playing feels like a desperate, lonely fight against an overwhelming evil, where every move matters and the world itself is corrupting around you.

What players say

Players say the game is a short, fun experience held back by sluggish combat and movement, especially in the final boss fight. Some praise the resource hoarding system, while others find the combat repetitive and recommend speeding things up.
