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

An emotional narrative journey driven by player choices, exploring a lost past through atmospheric story and character interactions.

What players say

Players praise the surreal story and interactive elements like timed events and a map, but warn that choices are opaque and there are no hints. Opinion is split on the AI-generated art and the pricing history, with some calling the writing weak and others appreciating the visual variety.
