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 stealth survival experience set during a Martian invasion, where you sneak, craft, and use the environment to outwit threats.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on Grey Skies. Many call it empty and boring with bad AI and controls, while a minority praise its atmosphere and story. The developer promised a free remake after poor reception but never delivered, leaving a sour taste for those who bought in.
