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 slow, methodical, and solitary experience of breaking into fictional computer systems through typing commands and exploring text-based networks in a persistent online world.

What players say

Players say this is the most realistic hacking simulator on Steam, treating you like a real hacker rather than a puzzle game. It demands basic knowledge of networks and Unix terminals, and coding in its custom language is needed for advanced play. Some note bugs that break PvP fairness, and beginners without networking experience may find the tutorial insufficient.
