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 slow, contemplative drift through a decaying synthetic world where every choice nudges the story forward without clear direction.

What players say

Players praise the game's cyberpunk atmosphere and ambitious open-world concept, especially for a single developer. However, many warn about frequent bugs, clunky controls, and a lack of polish, with some noting the use of AI content. Opinions split on whether the potential outweighs the rough state.
