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.

A collection of tiny text adventures that emphasize player choices and fast-paced evocative storytelling.

What players say

Players describe Ord as a minimalist choose-your-own-adventure where each choice is a single word, and your brain fills in the rest. The novelty wears thin for some due to RNG on available options, achievement grinding that demands specific sequences, and bugs like infinite loops that force restarts.
