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 tense, low-budget action scenario set during a historical hostage crisis, where player decisions feel pressured by real-world stakes.

What players say

A one-level shooter that most players finish in five to ten minutes, with Spanish dialogue and a deliberately limited gunplay gimmick. Many say performance is poor and heats up PCs, and some report the finale stalls with nothing happening after the last choice.
