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, trippy escape room where you calmly explore a dream world and solve puzzles at your own pace.

What players say

Players compare it to the PS1 classic LSD: Dream Emulator, and praise the trippy atmosphere and puzzles. However, bugs like rooms with no exit and a frustrating final boss are common complaints. The game takes about an hour to finish, and the default control scheme is a frequent point of criticism.
