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 darkly comedic walk through a satirical corporate afterlife, where you explore eerie, psychedelic hellish offices and solve bureaucratic puzzles with a sense of oppressive tedium.

What players say

Players say it is a very short walking simulator with simple fetch quests set in hell, built around office satire. The humor and art style get frequent praise, but several reviews warn the story is forgettable and the gameplay barely exists.
