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 brief, surreal and eerie walk through a pixelated forest guided by an unusual microwave-based control scheme.

What players say

Players praise the ingenious microwave-based controls for creating tension and a sense of helplessness, but note the game is very short and the novelty carries the experience. Reviews split on whether the controls are clever or annoying, though most agree they are the core of the gameplay.
