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 brief, casual rocket piloting game where playful physics give way to an unsettling narrative shift.

What players say

Players describe a short rocket-physics action game with an unsettling analog horror tone that shifts to a silly ending on a second run. The controls start cumbersome but become manageable with practice. The game is not very scary and can be completed in about 30 minutes to an hour, though some feel the price is steep for the length.
