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 frantic scramble through a grotesque lab, where you flee and shoot monstrous mutants while scraping together upgrades to survive permadeath and uncover a grim story.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, replayable looter shooter with multiple endings. The start is rocky and requires a tolerance for trial and error, but it opens up once you adapt. Several note the protagonist moves surprisingly fast, and some compare the feel to an old Half-Life 2 mod.
