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

You blast through alien-infested corridors while monitoring a helmet HUD, struggling to stay alive just long enough to reach the escape pod.

What players say

Players praise its Dead Space atmosphere but tear into a litany of unfinished mechanics: enemies show no damage feedback, teleport randomly, and the crouch animation is a single frame. Some see potential in the bullet management and horror vibe, but most call it outright broken and ugly.
