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 desperate, lonely struggle to keep a decaying spaceship and yourself alive, with every systems failure increasing the tension.

What players say

Players describe a hardcore survival loop where you die repeatedly learning the ship's layout, and many find the procedurally scrambled rooms tedious rather than tense. A sarcastic computer voice helps, but the game offers no hand-holding, leaving some frustrated and others hooked by the challenge.
