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 spend your time queuing and solving pointless puzzles, capturing the tedious and absurd experience of waiting.

What players say

Players say it is a short and funny joke about MMO queues, with a simple point-and-click puzzle to pass the time. The experience runs about three hours, though one player reports crashing when the queue finishes. Time-based achievements annoy some, and the single queue leaves a few wanting more.
