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 slow, surreal walk through colorful yet unsettling environments, where conversation and atmosphere build a story about identity.

What players say

Players call this a short, sweet, and moving experience with a banger soundtrack and standout run animations. Opinions split on the controls, which some find frustrating. A recurring oddity: the game's title and screenshots don't show up on Steam profiles.
