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 campy, low-budget jaunt through lizard bases as a goofy knight, blending stealth-heavy survival-horror with absurdist comedy and an overly dramatic rescue mission.

What players say

Players describe it as a bizarre, meme-filled fever dream that blends Slavic mythology with reptile conspiracy theories. It is extremely cheap, short (about an hour to complete), and fully embraces its absurdity, but many also report technical problems like poor performance, bugs, and unbalanced combat.
