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 quiet, dreamlike boat ride through a surreal nocturnal park where you photograph wildlife and slowly uncover an unsettling mystery.

What players say

Players praise its creepy atmosphere and unique premise, but routinely report bugs that break runs, boats getting stuck, flipped into the forest, or pushed off the map, and a camera that induces motion sickness. There is no save system, so a run lost near the end means starting over. The boat feels slow and the map lacks a player marker, leaving you to wander. Most finish in about an hour.
