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

Exploring a derelict ship in eerie silence, drifting through zero gravity while tension builds from unseen dangers.

What players say

Players describe a short 2-hour side-scroller that mixes Dead Space and Metroid with a wall-walking gravity mechanic. Controls are tight but some find the movement frustrating. The atmosphere is praised though combat and navigation feel unrefined. A minority complain about the lack of a pause button and loud sound effects.
