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

You explore a derelict starship, fixing systems and piecing together what happened, guided by an AI, in a contemplative and lonely adventure.

What players say

Players say it is a very short, space-themed walking simulator with simple puzzles that takes under an hour. Some praise the atmosphere, while others report technical problems like freezes and controller glitches, especially in VR.
