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, tactical stealth game where you navigate shadows and silence before erupting into frantic, high-stakes gunfights

What players say

Players praise the freedom to approach each level stealthily or guns-blazing, comparing it to Hotline Miami and old Splinter Cell games. The game is short but challenging, with a flexible skill floor. Complaints focus on a comically bad story and occasional AI quirks.
