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 quiet, somber night-watch sim where each decision weighs heavy as the cold creeps in.

What players say

Players describe a quick, replayable mix of resource management and moral choices, where each run is a 20-40 minute challenge. Some find the random encounters repetitive and the combat basic, while others enjoy figuring out strategy through trial and error.
