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, experimental simulation that feels like wandering through a pixelated art studio with deliberate, unpolished mechanics

What players say

Players describe it as a depressing flash game about struggling as an artist. They say it's very difficult to succeed and often impossible to recover from poverty, with some feeling it's more of an art piece than a game. A few note it lacks content and depth.
