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 survival RPG where you navigate a hostile world of hyper-aggressive mutants.

What players say

Players say the game was removed from Steam for good reason: it is an asset flip with rampant bugs, terrible optimization, no save feature, and a confusing story. The soundtrack is widely praised but not enough to offset the broken experience, and many report having their game keys revoked after giveaways.
