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 quiet, introspective walk through a mind unraveling, where you shape hesitant replies in tense, personal conversations.

What players say

Players call this a short, personal story about mental illness that takes about an hour to finish. The simple, sometimes clunky gameplay is seen as supporting the emotional tone, though a few find it distracting. Many say it resonated with their own experiences, while others caution it can be triggering.
