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 tense, high-stakes stealth-action game where every move matters because you have only minutes to scavenge before annihilation.

What players say

Players say the 30-minute runs have an impossible money goal, making stealth pointless since gunfights are easy and the timer pushes you to sprint. The map feels empty and runs are identical, killing replay value. Some enjoy the atmosphere and movement, but most call it a tech demo or game jam project.
