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 janky, absurd survival game where you collect bottles and fight goofy criminals in a third-person brawler with permadeath.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the absurd premise and voice acting, others call it a broken, shallow experience. The game is very short, about 5-15 minutes, with a simple loop of collecting bottles from dumpsters to buy alcohol. Many note technical issues like an unskippable 60-minute cutscene and crashes.
