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, dreamlike exploration where familiar spaces gradually warp and become unsettling through subtle, unnerving changes.

What players say

Players praise the unsettling atmosphere and grotesque art, but many find the game very short, around 30 minutes to an hour. Some accuse it of using AI-generated images, while others split on the story: some find it compelling, others find it confusing or underwhelming. The point-and-click gameplay is simple and the ending divides opinion.
