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 pixelated survival-horror Metroidvania where you explore a crumbling cyberpunk simulation, scavenging for answers under a ticking seven-cycle clock.

What players say

Players praise the art style and music but agree the controls are awkward and the keyboard layout is uncomfortable. Many note translation errors, a long unskippable intro, and a lack of early saving. The game is free, which tempers criticism.
