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, methodical unraveling of a perfect life through deliberate choices and psychological chess-like moves.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call it a demo-length game finished in under an hour, with no story and choices that do not matter. Many say the positive reviews look fake and that the developer misled them about content.
