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 slow, solitary trek through a frozen, hostile world, where every silent footprint and faint color change hints at a story buried in the cold.

What players say

Players are split on Degeneration. Some praise the intriguing story, dark atmosphere, and music inspired by Limbo and Inside. Others criticize bad optimization, broken English translation, janky controls, and a boss fight that one-shots players, making it nearly impossible to finish.
