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, atmospheric top-down shooter where your flashlight reveals nothing but danger, designed for quick, unforgiving runs.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and limited flashlight vision, but split on stability and enemy AI. Ammo is scarce and runs are short, making every resource count. Some report frequent crashes and braindead enemies getting stuck in geometry, though the challenge keeps many coming back for one more run.
