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 quirky, choose-your-own-adventure hitchhiking trip where card draws decide your ride and your fate, balancing silly moments with a touch of unease.

What players say

Players report the game is a very short branching story that takes about three minutes to finish. Many complain that the English text reads like machine translation and that development has not been updated since January.
