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, strategic card game where you carefully weigh risk and reward while racing against the clock to sneak through a hostile building.

What players say

Players call it a faithful digital version of a solo board game inspired by Die Hard. Runs take about an hour and rely heavily on luck, making wins rare but satisfying. A few report a game-breaking bug where card choices freeze, and most agree there is little variety between playthroughs.
