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 short, lo-fi stroll through a disorienting, dreamlike dimension with a constant undercurrent of unease.

What players say

Players describe OK/NORMAL as a short, surreal walking sim with PS1-style visuals and a vaporwave soundtrack. Opinions are split on its intentional frustration: some see it as interestingly tough, others find it boring or annoying. The lack of checkpoints in platforming sections and a confusing maze level are common complaints.
