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

You play through casual mini-games with a morbid, self-destructive edge, aiming to find ways to die quickly for dark laughs.

What players say

Players describe a short, darkly comedic simulator where you click through depressing texts in a dark room, aiming to die before a timer runs out. It has the black humor and minimal instruction typical of the developer's other games, and takes about one sitting to finish.
