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 fast-paced, top-down shooter where you navigate a dark, bureaucratic world, hiding from and hunting supernatural creatures with a savant's powers.

What players say

Players call it a hardcore Hotline Miami clone with a time travel mechanic, but the difficulty is punishing and the tutorial is a bullet hell. It is short, roughly 3 hours, and the story has multiple outcomes. The art is murky and players are split on whether it looks intentionally retro or just poor.
