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 minimalist, repetitive exercise that turns a single mundane action into an absurd and unexpectedly engaging experience.

What players say

Players mash keys to count up to 9,999 clicks, finding the journey silly and the narrator's running commentary hilarious. The game takes about 15 minutes and hands can get sore.
