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, low-poly survival horror with retro pixel graphics and dark humor, where every bullet and life is precious in a locked-down, monster-filled complex.

What players say

Players praise the Resident Evil-inspired concept but are frustrated by the lack of save points, buggy controls that freeze the character, and a very short campaign with two chapters. Many say development was abandoned, leaving glitches and locked menu options for extra content.
