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 gritty, handcrafted world where cosmic horror meets punk attitude, blending deliberate old-school mechanics with a modern, tactile feel.

What players say

Players are deeply split, with many criticizing the glacial development pace that has stretched on for years, while others praise the game's distinctive meaty, Cronenbergy art style and satisfying combat. The small dev team is seen as dedicated but too slow, leaving the game feeling like an unfinished promise.
