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 simple, high-stakes job where each task carries the quiet threat of not making it out alive.

What players say

A sokoban puzzler where you dispose of evidence in a grimy facility and watch your own replays, with most levels solvable in a few dozen steps. Puzzles get genuinely hard later, and players say it wraps up in around 8 hours, which some found short for the price. The pixel art and tech-punk soundtrack land well, though the music grows repetitive.
