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
Feels like a playful, surreal sandbox where you build and puppeteer weird animations with easy, experimental tools.

What players say
Players describe it as a bizarre, cursed video creation tool rather than a typical game. The learning curve is steep and the tutorial is confusing, but those who stick with it find endless creative possibilities in its puppet manipulation and AI-generated scenes.
