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 first-person survival horror where you explore mysterious Algerian streets and forests, solving puzzles and fighting zombies to stay alive.

What players say

Players praise the survival horror concept and developer's passion, but the game is rough. Darkness dominates most levels while lighting tools are barely functional. Technical problems include crashes, clipping enemies, and a boss fight with a tiny trigger zone. Minor jank does not ruin the experience for most.
