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 tense, darkly comedic survival simulation where every random action could kill you, forcing careful strategy under constant uncertainty.

What players say

Players say it is a unique but punishing survival game where random chance kills you constantly, often unfairly. Reviews split on whether the lack of player agency is a feature or a flaw, and some warn about a softlock bug that forces a restart.
