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 darkly comedic point-and-click adventure where you manipulate cartoonish animal survivors through persuasion and trading, with a tense but silly post-apocalyptic tone.

What players say

Players love the humor and voice acting, but note it is very short at around two hours and ends on a cliffhanger that requires buying a separate part 2.
