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 and cautious stealth game where you must stay hidden in shadows to survive against relentless robotic enemies in a devastated world.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and Alien Isolation vibes, but many report enemy AI that is easy to exploit and softlock bugs that force restarts. The game feels like an unfinished student project, with performance issues even on decent hardware.
