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 darkly humorous and surreal point-and-click adventure through a strange post-apocalyptic bar, solving puzzles and meeting quirky, sometimes violent characters.

What players say
Players praise the surreal, fever-dream humor and distinct art style, but agree the game is very short, has easy puzzles, and ends without wrapping up its plot. Voice acting and polish are rough, though many find this amateurish charm endearing rather than off-putting.
