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 explore a desolate, historical wasteland with a quiet, melancholy tone, focusing on story and atmosphere over action.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric setting and music but find the controls clunky and navigation frustrating. The voice acting and translation draw criticism, while story and visuals get mixed reactions. Opinions split sharply on whether the unique premise outweighs the rough execution.
