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, puzzle-filled journey through a twisted, bug-sized world that feels disorienting and introspective.

What players say

Players enjoy the surreal world of a bug's perspective, praising the creative environments and short playtime of about three hours. They disagree on whether it is a successful adaptation of Kafka or just a loose mashup of his ideas.
