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 text adventure where death is inevitable and frequent, played for dark comedy and absurd frustration.

What players say

Players say this free text adventure offers random death outcomes based on choices, but many find it boring and poorly executed. The game has a notorious 'purge' option that deletes achievements, frustrating completionists, and choices often feel meaningless as dying is inevitable.
