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 and absurd Cold War survival simulation where you manage resources and defend against bears while immersed in the dramatic duty of a Soviet missile operator.

What players say

Players describe it as a stressful papers-please-style game where you intercept missiles by manually following a constantly updating manual. Missions run about seven minutes each, making it a quick-bite game. Some report a progression-stopping bug around day 20 that made further play impossible.
