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 meditative, story-driven exploration of a post-disaster future, experienced through experimental book-like design and immersive narrative.

What players say

Players praise the all-female worldbuilding and rule-horror atmosphere, but split on pacing: early hours feel slow, the middle horror section excites, and the ending comes abruptly. Combat is simple and repetitive, and walking into dialogue triggers can lock you in conversation until you restart.
