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, atmospheric horror experience where you uncover a dystopian conspiracy by hacking into a cyberpunk city's systems through a Linux terminal.

What players say

Players finish in 30 to 90 minutes and praise the PS1-style visuals, music, and surprising story ending. The hacking minigame divides opinion: some find it fun and forgiving, others call it repetitive or frustrating. Controls are described as gummy and the game lacks a sensitivity slider.
