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 and frantic first-person adventure where you stealth, fight, and die through procedurally generated Greek mythology-inspired levels.

What players say

Players praise its unique lo-fi Grecian horror atmosphere and dark synth soundtrack, but acknowledge the game is janky with bugs and occasional unfair difficulty. The randomly generated cat-and-mouse horror gameplay against mythological monsters is a standout, though some find execution rough.
