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, atmospheric trek through a surreal forest under the weight of an ominous corporate directive.

What players say

Players praise the spooky, atmospheric forest and the addictive loop of gathering mushrooms while avoiding monsters. Maps and monster placement are procedural, so each run feels distinct, but some report the game became unplayable after a hardware update.
