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 stark, procedural action-simulation experience with a quiet, mechanical feel.

What players say

Players praise the meta progression from base building, which makes each run feel worthwhile, and enjoy the chaotic fun with friends. They compare it favorably to Lethal Company and R.E.P.O., though some note the current content is short. Players split on solo play, with some finding the body-hopping mechanic less satisfying alone. A few report lost weapons when reloading a save.
