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

Wandering through a dreamlike memoryscape where past and present merge in a slow, contemplative exploration of shared experience.

What players say

Players are split on this walking simulator. Some find it a dreamlike, emotionally resonant art piece about loss and memories, while others are bored by its slow pace and lack of interaction. The hour-long playthrough can feel like an eternity due to the glacial movement.
