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 fast-paced, surreal hack and slash experience that blends stylish combat with a lonely, psychedelic immigrant story.

What players say

Players praise the surreal art and emotional story about immigration and mental health, but opinions split on the writing quality. The beat-em-up combat is simple and janky, relying on timing and positioning while the game is short at around 2 to 4 hours.
