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 slow-burn interactive story focused on navigating morally grey conversations and self-deception about finances and family.

What players say

Players are deeply split. Many praise its sharp writing on debt and class, calling it brutally honest and even therapeutic. Others find it wallows in misery, with slow pacing and oppressive pessimism that makes it hard to recommend.
