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 frantic, solo-developed shooter that feels raw and unpolished, with every encounter being a messy, high-stakes power fantasy built on punishing combat and grim Soviet-bloc atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise this solo-developed shooter as a fun mashup of Half-Life, STALKER and Doom with satisfying gunplay and a gritty Soviet atmosphere. It runs about 6 to 12 hours and doesn't overstay its welcome, though many note it is rough around the edges with occasional bugs. Some reviewers warn that enemy combat can be frustrating, especially on higher difficulties.
