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 lighthearted and experimental free-roam space where you can explore a simple 3D world with a sense of playful curiosity.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is even a game. Many say it is just a near-empty Unreal Engine level with nothing to do but walk, look, and jump, no menu or narrative. Some enjoy treating it as a free city sightseeing tour, pointing out a ramp, underground panels, and a Mega Dome, while others dismiss it as an asset dump.
