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 short horror hunting game where a student returns home to a missing family, quickly descending into a darkly comic and vengeful rampage against hamsters using contraptions like guillotines and microwaves.

What players say

Players create elaborate hamster torture and burger factories with automation and breeding pens. The game is bizarre and darkly funny, but some note the lack of a pause function in single-player can lead to bases being destroyed, and others mention jumpscares and a short story.
