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 tense, dialogue-heavy moral puzzle where each decision carries weight and the atmosphere is thick with political intrigue and consequence.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely short, often finishing in under 20 minutes, and despite multiple endings there is little desire to replay. The concept is interesting but the execution feels lacking, with the interesting part of the story (the consequences) never shown. Some players also report broken text display preventing play.
