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

You navigate a gritty, lawless cyberpunk city through rich text descriptions, shaping your own story with choices that carry weight in a world of decay and desperation.

What players say

Players praise the writing and world, but split on the action point system that limits daily play and ties into monetization, with some calling it a grind and others saying it works fine without paying. The game is built for long-term, gradual progress over months, not short sessions.
