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 dreamlike, non-linear journey through a surreal open world where you solve puzzles, sneak, and explore with a peculiar visual style.

What players say

Players call it a surreal, dreamlike platformer with a distinctive claymation look inspired by Tim Burton. The constant narration divides opinion: some find it charming, others say it ruins the atmosphere. Movement can be clunky, but the invisible mechanic and checkpoint planting add unique twists. It is short and linear, never too hard, though many say the full price feels steep.
