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 contemplative journey through surreal, shifting dimensions where exploration and puzzle-solving are punctuated by a sense of personal transformation.

What players say

Players describe a short, surreal art game in the style of LSD Dream Emulator, where you mostly click around to explore strange scenes with only a couple of puzzles. There is disagreement: one review criticizes the use of generative AI assets, while others praise the beautiful, diverse artwork and weird, mind-bending atmosphere.
