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 brief, dreamlike walk through alien landscapes where you quietly observe abstract artifacts and listen to ambient sounds.

What players say

Players describe a very short, cheap sci-fi experience with surreal visuals and light puzzles. It is often compared to games like Fugue In Void and Kairo, but many wish it lasted longer.
