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 fast and precise combat game set in a dark, atmospheric future where movement and stance switching are key.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced combat and fluid movement, but warn the camera is janky, content is very thin, and the whole game is beatable in about 20 minutes. The strange style draws some in, while others are put off by heavy screen effects and a lack of explanation.
