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, lonely scramble through an abandoned ship where every moment counts toward finding enough power to survive.

What players say

Players praise the deep, momentum-based movement system that rewards experimentation and discovery. The difficulty is brutal and some bemoan the lack of coyote time, but most find the challenge rewarding. There is an assist menu for those who need it.
