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, methodical stealth experience where every move feels deliberate and the Cold War atmosphere weighs heavily on each decision.

What players say

Players compare this to a budget Hitman clone, with mixed feelings. Some enjoy the freedom and stealth approach, while others note you can run up to enemies for a kill, breaking stealth. Frequent crashes and glitches are common complaints.
