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 dreamy, psychedelic walking simulator where you explore surreal, low-poly PSX-style worlds with an unpredictable, ambient feel.

What players say

Players agree this is an extremely short walking simulator with no connection to the Backrooms despite its title. The visuals and music are widely praised, but invisible walls heavily restrict exploration and the runtime is under 15 minutes, leading many to call it more of a proof of concept than a full game.
