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 frantic, brutal action game where you switch between a heavy pickaxe and a futuristic gun to survive relentless attacks in a scorched, post-apocalyptic world.

What players say

Players praise the combat, animations, and voice acting, but nearly everyone calls it extremely short and most describe it as a student project. The lack of saves, controller-only input, and performance issues on Steam Deck get frequent complaints. Opinions split on whether it is a promising demo or a tech demo that plays poorly.
