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 surreal, self-aware blend of awkward dating sim and stealth gameplay, where pixel-art exploration shifts between dark comedy and unsettling twists.

What players say

Players split on the quality. Many say it is a creative but clunky take on the Chris Chan story, held back by frequent softlocks and frustrating platforming controls. Those who appreciate the reference find the humor and the true ending haunting, while others call it a tedium and give up.
