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

You start penniless and must survive by stealing, fighting, and making risky choices in a grim, satirical island city.

What players say

Players describe this as a strategic homeless survival game where you steal food, socialize, and avoid police. It is very short, with 11 levels that can be beaten in an afternoon, and the heavy reliance on RNG for core actions frustrates some players.
