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 slow, disorienting walk through an unsettling utopia where an omnipotent AI's cryptic mission hangs over every step, leaving you with a vague dread and the weight of irreversible knowledge.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, atmospheric walking simulator that turns a philosophical thought experiment into an unsettling interactive experience. Some praise the voice acting and trippy visuals, while others find it repetitive, saying you traverse the same labyrinth multiple times with little gameplay.
