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.

A tense action game where you play as a policewoman making choices amid a mutant threat.

What players say

Players describe it as a short hybrid of visual novel and shooting gallery, appreciated for its 90s manga-style artwork and multiple endings. The game uses a visual novel engine repurposed for action, and while the shooting can be challenging, an option to skip it is available. A few players note it works well on Steam Deck.
