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 systematic, hands-on experience of gathering parts, tuning stats, and testing accuracy to build the ideal firearm.

What players say

Players say the game feels like a broken or unfinished student project, with bugs preventing basic functions like reloading. Some find the concept of assembling and testing guns interesting, but the execution is poor with clunky controls, limited parts, and a grindy economy.
