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 are a one-armed researcher dragging yourself through dark corridors, frantically reloading each bullet manually while mutated monsters swarm, making every action a tense, deliberate gamble.

What players say

Players praise the novel control scheme where all actions are mouse-driven, creating tense horror moments. Many note the game is fairly short and combat feels rewarding, though some find enemy variety lacking and the early-game rats annoying.
