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 cat-and-mouse game where scientists silently creep through a dark, procedurally generated lab, trying to work together while a monster stalks them, and every sound you make could give away your position.

What players say

Players say the game is fun with a group but is a dead PvP game with no active servers or meaningful solo content. Reviews split on balance, with the monster often feeling overpowered, and some report frequent crashes or suspect a crypto miner.
