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 serene and atmospheric first-person exploration where you gently walk through beautiful environments, solving light puzzles and platforming at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players say the third entry feels like a real game, adding platforming, puzzles, and a visible character model. At about two hours it is still short, and some find the orb-collecting quests tedious and the story unclear.
