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, fast-paced tactical shooter where every move requires both speed and caution, with brutal, high-stakes close quarters combat.

What players say

Players are split, with many praising the visuals and the ambition of a solo developer, but nearly everyone agrees the controls are broken or unchangeable, the gunplay feels weak, and the content is thin. Critics call it an unfinished asset flip, while supporters hope for more updates.
