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 lighthearted cat-and-mouse arena shooter where marines hunt alien eggs with proximity detection.

What players say

Players describe it as Among Us blended with hide-and-seek in short, tense rounds. The alien side, with egg-spawning and ambush tactics, is a highlight, though the marine side feels more survival-horror. The main complaint is a dead online playerbase, making bots the only option. The single map and simple pixel art get mixed but mostly positive mentions.
