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

Methodical, shadowy stealth with supernatural powers and flexible player choice in a grim dystopian city.

What players say

Players love the freedom to tackle objectives in multiple ways, though they note a good playthrough locks away many fun powers. The game is short but highly replayable, with a chaos system that tracks how much pain you cause. Some find it easy, others rage at clumsy moments.
