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 feel like a remote security overseer, calmly guiding a hapless janitor through alien-infested corridors using video feeds and drones in a lighthearted, problem-solving experience.

What players say

Players enjoy controlling security cameras and a rover drone to protect Lenny, a lovable janitor, through puzzle levels. The humor lands well, and the challenge is rewarding without being frustrating, though a few find the execution repetitive and the controls fiddly.
