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 self-aware theatrical journey through memory where tragedy and mockery intertwine, pulling you through a melancholic and grimly humorous reflection on a life ending in despair.

What players say

Players split on whether the dark themes serve the story or feel excessive. Many praise the narrative twist and theatrical storytelling, but find the frequent sexual violence repetitive and forced. The game is relatively short at around 7 hours.
