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 tense, looping trench that demands careful observation to spot subtle anomalies.

What players say

Players call it a well-made spot-the-difference game in the style of Exit 8, set in a looping WW1 trench. They split on difficulty: some find the anomalies too easy and obvious, while others appreciate the subtle ones. Most finish it in 20 minutes to 2 hours, and several note the soldiers all look identical.
