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 janky, absurdist endless-runner where you flee a military commissar through bleak, infinite Russian landscapes with borrowed vehicles.

What players say

Players largely enjoy this game as a cheap political satire with Russian cultural references. It is a simple endless runner that takes about an hour, has three endings, and is compared to Subway Surfers. Some note poor optimization and janky controls, and long-time players point out that the game has not had updates in two years.
