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, short narrative walking sim that builds unease through surreal dialogue and hidden references.

What players say

Players say it is a very short free walking simulator with a story that has a surprising twist. The voice acting is praised, but a few reviewers find the puzzles unintuitive or the twist unconvincing. It is about 20 minutes long.
